Great Day For Arts In Geauga
Aug. 7
Geauga Park District debuts a different kind of arts festival in 2022 with a greater focus on the natural inspiration behind the art – the Nature & Arts Fest, happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The West Woods. The festival also still runs parallel with Chardon Square Association’s 41st annual Chardon Arts Festival, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on historic Chardon Square.
Both include free admission and parking. Juried artists at both festivals will represent many different genres: painting, stained glass, leather, fabric art, wood carving, acrylic, encaustic (beeswax), pottery, photography, weaving, copper, jewelry, stone cutting and more.
Guests to The West Woods will spend time outdoors discovering nature with exhibits and activities including interactive booths, hikes and live animals, while artists inside and out display and sell their exclusive nature-inspired artwork. Find a complete schedule of events and vendors list on the park district website.
The Chardon Arts Festival is hosted entirely outdoors and features more than 100 professionally juried artists. Learn more about the Chardon Square festival at www.chardonsquareassociation.org.
