Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is again set to host its annual Art Fair in September. The two-day festival will feature art, live entertainment, artist demonstrations, family friendly activities, pet adoptions, food trucks, and more.

“To me, Art Fair is the start of fall, so, it’s a really exciting time to visit the park. Art Fair is the culmination of everything that the park represents, and it truly is art and nature,” said Delaney French, marketing and sales manager at Pyramid Hill.

As part of the two-day event, guests can enjoy a day out in the park, in nature, along with all the other festivities that feature art, live music, food and family friendly activities. Guests can take a leisurely walk and come home with a handmade or handcrafted item such as a piece of jewelry or a new painting. This is the 22nd year for the Art Fair.

“Art Fair is such a fun event. It’s always something to look forward to, and mark on the calendar,” French said.

Art Fair, one of the park’s largest, annual events, will feature more than 60 artists that will sell one-of-a-kind handmade items. Participating artists will showcase painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, ceramics, glass, fiber, jewelry, woodworking, metal, sculptures, mixed-media, wearable art and more. There will be a mix of national and regional artists, including returning favorites and new artists.

There will be more artist demonstrations this year, including demonstrations from Neusole Glassworks, Tiger Lily Press, Weavers Guild of Greater Cincinnati, and Unsung Salvage Design Co.

Guests will also enjoy food trucks and live music throughout the weekend, including a Sunday performance from the Butler Philharmonic Orchestra at 1 p.m.

On Saturday, there will be live music from VuDu Childe, Mark Joshua, Stone & Snow, and Queen City Silver Stars, who have been brought to the park in partnership with 3rd Street Music.

Children and parents alike can get creative with activities and crafts for the whole family in the Family Fun Zone, such as building a community cardboard castle, which everyone loves.

This year, families can adopt a new best friend with pet adoptions from Animal Friends Humane Society, who will be at the Art Fair on Sept. 29.
