Art Village on Main welcomes the community to join us for our 12th Annual A Season of Hope Arts Festival. This McAllen holiday tradition celebrates visual and performing arts education and artists in the Rio Grande Valley. In addition, it encourages young people in our community to explore and appreciate the Arts.
This year, the festival will be a two-day event. The festivities begin on Friday, November 21, with music provided by students of Creative Arts Studio Academy at 5:30 p.m.
Creative Arts Studio is a collective of local artists empowering our communities through fine arts education. The evening continues with the Lighting of the Tree at 5:45 p.m. and the STC Student Art Exhibit.
Local artists will also have their work on display and be on hand to show and sell their original work until 9:00 p.m.
The festival continues Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Support your local artist by shopping the assortment of professional artists’ booths. They will exhibit their masterpieces of jewelry, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and other media. All the works of art for sale at A Season of Hope Arts Festival are original, handcrafted pieces. Most are one of a kind.
Participating artists have been carefully selected for this annual event. Proceeds from the artists’ application and booth fees provide scholarships for valley students. Students studying drawing, painting, photography, dance, music, and voice are eligible for these scholarships.
