The 2009 WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival

The 44th Annual WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival will be August 22, 2009. Approximately 300 artists and 40,000 visitors attend this festival. The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is held on Congress Street from Park Street to Monument Square, through Monument Walk to the corner of Free & Temple Streets. Congress Street is closed to vehicular traffic, creating a 7-block, pedestrian-friendly, open-air art market and an even more peaceful, safe, and enjoyable environment. The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is the oldest and largest one-day art show in Northern New England. The Festival is organized and administered by WCSH 6.

As in years past, there will be thousands of works for sale at every price point, including watercolors, oils, acrylics, and photography. Select from original works or prints. A map of the Festival and a list of all participating artists will be available here online later this summer.

The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is a professionally judged show. Each participating artist may designate one work for consideration. Four (4) cash prizes are awarded.
