YorkArts is celebrating over 20 years of collaboration with York City’s YorkFest Arts Festival. In the early days, we provided children’s activities and had a YorkArts booth. In 2003 YorkArts’ Chalk Walk event became a prominent feature of the weekend’s activities. The Adult Juried Exhibition soon found its current home at YorkArts’ Beaver street gallery and most recently the children’s art exhibit is held at the 118 W. Philadelphia street gallery.
YorkArts believes that events like YorkFest spotlight the wealth of York’s talented artists and performers of all ages. Our support of the festival demonstrates the role creativity can play in fostering a thriving community like York.
