The 35th annual Arts Alive juried fine arts and crafts festival is May 21 and 22, 2022, in downtown Florence, Alabama. The festival takes place in Wilson Park and at Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts and features quality national, regional, and local artists and crafters. Admission is free so bring the family and stroll through the park as you meet artists, find one-of-a-kind treasures to add to your collection, and enjoy good food. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday.

The festival showcases artists specializing in painting, stained glass, jewelry, sculpture, pottery, fiber art, woodwork, photography, and much more. Arts Alive T-shirts and posters will be available for purchase in the park and online (coming soon). The Arts Alive juried gallery exhibition is in Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts right across the street from Wilson Park and is open the same hours as the festival.

Arts Alive is a project of the Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts volunteers, and attracts hundreds of art and craft lovers from across the Southeast. Wilson Park in downtown Florence is packed with people for two days as they stroll, meet the artists, and purchase. Arts Alive is a family event, and families flock to the Park to participate!
