Hard to believe that it was 16 years ago that the Village of Carlsbad, California hosted its first Art In The Village event. But there’s no stopping it now as the annual local art showcase returns to the streets of Carlsbad on Sunday, August 10, 2014. This year more than 100 loyal and regional artists will be showing their work.

Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and a diverse selection of fine artists, sculptors, photographers and craftsmen. Starting at 9 a.m. attendees can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue right in the heart of the Village and just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – July 1, 2014 – Held on the second Sunday every August, The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA)’s Art in the Village will return this Aug. 10, bringing over 100 local and regional artists for a one-day, open air event. Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and a diverse selection of fine artists, sculptors, photographers and craftsmen. Starting at 9 a.m. attendees can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue right in the heart of the Village and just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach.

“The CVA started Art in the Village as a way to draw attention to the local art community, which was largely under the radar until that time,” said Doug Avis, Chair of the CVA Board of Directors. “We’re pleased to see its success over the years and growth from a small market to a large yearly event that includes artists from all over North County.”

As an added feature this year, guests who bike to the event will be offered a complimentary valet service staffed by the San Diego County Bike Coalition in partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the City of Carlsbad. The valet service will provide Art in the Village attendees with secure, supervised bicycle parking so they can spend less time finding an ideal place to lock up their bikes and more time enjoying the event.

Art in the Village will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 10. Artists who are interested in participating should contact Brian Roth, Show Manager, by phone at (760) 945-9288 or email at info@kennedyfaires.com.
