OCEAN CITY — The arts are alive at Northside Park this weekend, June 27-28, for the 15th Annual Art’s Alive fine art festival.
Encompassing the park’s picturesque lagoon, this bayside event offers attendees a scenic stroll with music, free children’s activities, food, beer, wine and art.
Art’s Alive hosts over 75 artists displaying and selling their work while competing for over $5000 in prizes. These local and travelling artists come to Ocean City to demonstrate their creativity and skill in 12 categories including painting, jewelry and ceramics. Children will get the opportunity to try their hand at various art activities at no charge. From soap carving to painting, families will be able to take home their own Art’s Alive masterpiece.
“If you’re looking for a family-friendly event outdoors, than look no more,” said Ocean City Special Events Director Frank Miller. “Arts Alive is more than a fine art festival, but it is an opportunity to enjoy our scenic park, spend time with loved ones and appreciate art of all kinds while taking in the salt air and bay breeze.”
While at Art’s Alive, event participants can purchase and enjoy a craft beer or glass of wine from the Art League of Ocean City. In addition, Sobo’s Catering will provide a variety of delicious options at the outdoor café. Also, smoothie lovers can stop by the smoothie stand and cool off as you make your way around the lagoon.
Art’s Alive will take place rain or shine from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
“Bring the whole family and enjoy art and Ocean City this weekend at Art’s Alive,” Miller said.
