Madison Chataqua Festival of Art

By admin on August 31, 2009
Back

On the last full weekend of each year — September 26 & 27 — thousands of art lovers and festival goers descend on Madison, Indiana for the Madison Chataqua Festival of Art. This juried fine arts and crafts show will have about 275 exhibitors displaying their water colors, pottery, wood carvings, metal work, jewelry, and sculpture.

The festival will also feature continuous live entertainment, food along the riverfront, and a concert on Saturday night in the Park.

Madison is right on State Road 56, which wends its way along the Ohio River. It’s about two hours south of Indianapolis, off I-65. Its downtown is designated a National Landmark Historic District, and it has been called “the prettiest small town in the Midwest” by Ladies Home Journal.

If you’re a fan of Indiana art festivals and shows, be sure to visit the Madison Chataqua website to search their database of artists to see if your favorites will be there.
