Share a joyful day of Art, Music and Community
celebrating Warwick’s creative spirit.

You are Here! Warwick Arts Fest invites people of all ages and abilities to explore Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness–the values that connect us—through creativity, play and shared experience.

Become an Artist for the Day!

The festival transforms art into something you can touch and make together, set beneath open-air tents in Stanley Deming Park in the heart of Warwick. Each tent will be full of local artists waiting to fuel your imagination with hands-on artmaking and performance workshops. Try fabric dyeing with natural pigments or learn to sing “One Short Day” from the musical Wicked with Paul Loesel from Core Theatre. Experiment with 3-D cardboard sculpture, or creating and printing your own postcard. Join an improv singing and drumming circle.  No art experience is needed—just curiosity and imagination. 

Help create a woven fabric flag as a living artwork that reflects diverse experiences of freedom, identity, and belonging. Watch a metalworker in action and try your hand at crafts and games from Colonial days in Warwick–candle dipping, writing with a quill pen, feather toss, wooden pin bowling.

Come for the art and stay for live music, art vendors and food. Enjoy the talents of local student vocalists and instrumentalists (2-3pm), the acoustic roots music of The Milton Trio (3 - 4pm), and the blues and jazz stylings of The Ryan Berg Trio with Brianna Thomas (5 - 6pm). Join in making a summer storm soundscape or dancing with giant puppets (4 - 5pm).

As the sun goes down, try out a salsa lesson and get ready to kick up your heels with the finale of the Village Summer Concert series, and the irresistible Latin jazz, salsa, and mambo rhythms of Tito Puente Jr. & Band, (7 - 9PM, Free!).

Together, we come to celebrate not only our shared values, but the happiness found in making and experiencing art as a community.

Tickets are $5 for children and $10 for adults.
