A new art event joins the active line-up of community programs centered on the Petworth Park on Saturday, June 9th from 4pm to 9pm. A brainchild of the Petworth Arts Collaborative (PAC), Petworth Arts Fest will feature various professional DC artists, live installations and performances to engage neighbors and our surrounding community through the arts. The event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Petworth Park and the Friends of Lincoln’s Cottage.

“We are excited to celebrate art in the park, encouraging both neighbors and artists to participate in interactive multidisciplinary art forms,” says co-founder Maria Mandle. “I’m most looking forward to seeing neighbors and artists co-creating; from a large-scale woven installation along the fence to a 20 foot nature-inspired mandala on the basketball court.”

The Arts Fest will be held on the basketball court at the Petworth Recreation Center at 801 Taylor St NW, where you'll find:

Visual artists
Pride of Place poster contest
Live musicians
Live muralist
Dance company
Theater company
Weavers
Family-friendly activities and more
80’s dance party finale
