The heart of the Labor Day Arts Festival is the artists themselves! 🎨✨ What began nearly 60 years ago as a festival organized by local artists has grown into a tradition featuring more than 120 talented creators. Many of these artists return year after year, sharing their paintings, sculptures, and more with visitors who love experiencing art up close. 💚👩‍🎨 Their passion and creativity are what make this festival a highlight of the Upper Arlington calendar every September! 🗓️

We hope you'll come see the incredible variety of art and the people behind it next year at Northam Park!
