Bethesda Row Arts Festival 2022 is this weekend, October 8-9
Many people were disappointed with the hurricane-related cancelation of this year's Taste of Bethesda event last weekend. The good news is that this coming weekend will be sunny with temperatures in the low 60s, and the second major downtown Bethesda festival of the year is still on. The Bethesda Row Arts Festival is this Saturday and Sunday, October 8 (11:00 AM to 6:00 PM) and 9 (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM), 2022. It will feature 165 juried artists, of which 72 are new to the show, and 42 are local artists. A complete list of artists with sample works and links to their websites is available on the event webpage.
The fine arts festival is a multimedia event, which means you will find everything from paintings to ceramics to wearable fashion. It is free to attend, and all ages are welcome. The festival takes place on streets around Bethesda Row that will be closed down for the event; vehicle access to the two public parking garages at Bethesda Row will remain accessible.
A jury of prominent local artists will judge and determine a winner in each artistic discipline. Those names - and a best show award winner - will be announced Sunday morning. Partners for the event include Federal Realty, the property owner of Bethesda Row; GW Primary & Specialty Care, a local network of clinics that will soon include one at Bethesda Row; Marriott International, which just relocated its Bethesda headquarters and opened a new hotel at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue; and representatives of the Purple Line light rail project and Maryland Department of Transportation.
