The Art●Struck Festival brings together artists and arts organizations to celebrate and support the arts community while highlighting the public art pieces that have been installed throughout downtown Johnson City. This festival offers high quality artwork for sale to the public, arts demonstrations and activities for all ages.

** THANK YOU TO OUR CURRENT SPONSORS! **

Join us on May 6th for this unique arts experience!

Visit a wide array of talented local artists at the festival’s art market. Bring the whole family and enjoy hands-on activities such as sculpture assembly, wand making, art puzzles, bucket drumming, a weaving fence, and chalking. Stop by the road roller printmaking station to witness large-scale printmaking in action, visit the local student art display, take a peek at the chalk art competition, and check out the art demo booths to see creative activities in the works. Join the Cattywampus Puppet Council for the festivities and march in the Giant Puppet Parade (all attendees welcome!), and enjoy live performances from an exciting line-up of bands, aerial acrobats, and buskers. Learn more about local arts programs and organizations, and above all, have some fun and help us celebrate all the latest additions to public art in Johnson City!

This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. In the event of inclement weather, the festival will be moved to the following Saturday (May 13th, 2023).
