Leesburg Fine Art Festival

The Leesburg Fine Art Festival debuts September 15-16, 2012 in Leesburg, VA.  Nestled amidst the charming shops and historic homes of Downtown Historic Leesburg and graciously hosted by the Friends of Leesburg Public Arts, the festival sets up in the location of the annual Flower and Garden show, at the intersection of King and Market streets.  

Wander through the festival encountering nationally- and internationally-acclaimed artists that have traveled to Leesburg from over 20 states and overseas.  Purchase breathtaking original and handmade creations in painting, jewelry, sculpting, photography, woodworking, ceramics, glass, fiber art, mixed-media - and more. Meet and interact with the artisans themselves, adding inestimable value not only to your appreciation of the art but the specific pieces you purchase.  Learn how each artisan came to their artform, how they are inspired, and about the materials used in creating your pieces.  Come experience art personally, and find that unique piece to enrich your home, your workplace - your life!

The Leesburg Fine Art Festival is open Saturday from 10-6 and Sunday from 11-5.  Admission is free.  Remember your wallets and purses!  You will be inspired and moved by the artwork you experience!  And if you are not familiar with the charm and beauty of historic Leesburg - let the romancing begin!
