The 8th Annual Westhampton Beach Festival of the Arts will return to the East End this Labor Day weekend. Presented by Paragon Fine Art Festivals, the holiday weekend art extravaganza will take place on the Great Lawn in Westhampton Beach on Saturday, September 3rd from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 4th from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Professional artists and artisans from throughout Long Island – as well as the United States – will join together to display their handmade jewelry, sculptures, paintings, photographs, ceramics, glassware, and much more. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the talented artists and purchase items from their collections. For an especially special experience, attendees can even commission a piece specifically for themselves.
This is the “best art festival in the metropolitan area,” says Bill Kinney, Festival Director. “The event will create an outdoor gallery of extraordinary original and handmade artwork by artists from 17 states across America.”
