Art in August is here! For over twenty years, Winchester businesses and artists have collaborated to turn the downtown area into an arts colony during the month of August. The festival has now begun for the summer of 2025.
Throughout the month, creations of local artists will be on display in windows and inside stores in downtown Winchester. In addition, be sure to visit the meet-the-artist receptions on Thursday evenings.
This year's festival will also see the return of Art in the Park on Saturday, August 16, 2025, a full day of arts activities on the Common at the Winchester Farmers' Market.
Now available:
- A full index of artists and venues
- A list of artists with brief biographies
- An interactive map of venues (see also below)
- A list of meet-the-artist receptions
- The Art in August brochure (PDF, available at all venues)
Art in August is sponsored by the Winchester Cultural Council and the Winchester Artists Network (WAN).
All events are free of charge to the public.
