Arts in the Middle is gifted with the "perfect festival venue" in the middle of an area so ripe with history we talk about the rivers John Smith traversed and the places Pocahontas wandered. The grounds of Hewick Plantation, the 17th century venue for our outdoor show, is a stroll away from the charming historic waterfront village of Urbanna.
Urbanna show
The Arts in the Middle Fine Arts Festival, twice voted a Best Art Event in Eastern Virginia (#1 in 2019) in Virginia Living's "Best Of" Magazine, receives top ratings from artists and patrons alike. 

The show typically features over 100 juried fine artists who come from across the country and work in a wide array of mediums. This has become a destination weekend for arts lovers from near-by urban areas of Tidewater, Richmond and Northern Virginia.

Marketing
Our strong, professional marketing team uses all available marketing tools: print stories and ads in regional papers and tourism related magazines throughout our catchment area; social media (facebook, instagram, email, eblasts); radio interviews and spots, posters and flyers, word of mouth; etc. We are also a member of and featured in the Rivers to Bay Artisan Network statewide reach.

With our 2020 show lost due to the pandemic and likely a few more months left for nationwide recovery, we have no new offerings planned for our Spring 2021 Festival. We just look forward to being able to once again welcome our artists, returning and new, and together celebrate the arts!!
