Art in August is here! Celebrating its 24th year, the festival begins this weekend! 

Winchester businesses and artists are collaborating to turn the downtown area into an arts colony during the month of August. We are delighted and honored to have 26 talented Winchester artists participating this year, hosted by 27 local businesses.

Throughout the month, works by local artists will be on display in windows and inside stores in downtown Winchester. We encourage residents to peruse the art while visiting our local businesses throughout August.
