HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Breathtaking views and outdoor fun will complement a one-of-a-kind artwork at this year’s Monte Sano Art Festival, presented by Damson Automotive, on Sept. 10 and 11 at Monte Sano State Park.
The juried art festival features over 130 local and regional artists along with food trucks, picnic tables, and area musicians. Monte Sano Art Festival is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11.
There's no charge to get into the festival, but Monte Sano State Park will charge $10 per car for parking or $5 per walk-in festival attendee, cash only. All funds go towards supporting the state parks system.
"Monte Sano Art Festival is a great opportunity to shop from a wide array of local, regional and national artists while also enjoying Huntsville's state park," said Allison Dillon-Jauken, executive director of Arts Huntsville. "As a juried art show, each year we feature exceptional professional artists who were selected from all of our applicants as the best in their medium. From jewelry to clay and painting to sculpture, the festival showcases art that will appeal to both first-time buyers and long-time collectors."
