Art in the 'Burg

General information

"Art in the 'Burg" is a joint effort between the Williamsburg Arts District Association (WADA) and WADA member Colonial Folk Art Studio & Gallery.
Every other Saturday beginning May 2, 2015, local artists and craftsmen from the Historic Triangle are invited to show and sell their work in the parking lot of Colonial Folk Art, 110 Bacon Ave.
"For artists, this is an opportunity to show their works," said Davie Burgdorf, organizer of the event and co-owner of Colonial Folk Art. "For the Williamsburg community, this is a great opportunity to come down to their Arts District and find great works of art by some of our best local talent and discover some of the delecious culinary arts within the District.”
Access to the event is free to the public with plenty of free parking available on the street and in surrounding parking lots.
Artists are charged a small fee of $35 to occupy a space. All proceeds from the fee go directly into marketing the event.
Using this model, the event can grow and feed upon itself.
WADA's goal is to bring more art into the Arts District and give the Arts District more identity as a center-of-gravity for the arts in our community.
WADA also seeks to grow our art community and doesn't want to compete with events and other arts-related activities already established, thus grow the entire community.
