Artists
A wide selection (over 275) of high quality, hand-picked artists present their
beautiful work for Faire goers. Attendees always comment on the high
quality of the art and the diverse offerings. There will be a treasure trove of ceramics, pottery,
watercolor, oil paintings, photography, wood working and jewelry –
something for everyone!

Plus:
Italian Street Painting
For the third year, the Art & Wine Faire will feature Italian Street Painting artists who will create beautiful paintings on
the street. They can be found on San Carlos Avenue, near El Camino.
There is also an opportunity for children to buy a square and try
their hand at Street Painting. If you are interested in being one of
our street artists, please contact
Wendy at the
Chamber. |
