Apply now for AIM fest spot

Applications are open for Arts in the Middle’s Local Artist Tent for 2023.

The Arts in the Middle (AIM) festival, presented just outside Urbanna, is consistently rated one of the best art shows in eastern Virginia, and a universal favorite among vendors.

Crowds number in the thousands, and exhibitors are drawn from all over the country.

Every year local artists from the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck are invited to apply for exhibit space in a shared tent where their work is highlighted. Each receives space for five pieces, and may put out a browse bin for prints. Three dimensional artists such as potters and jewelers will have access to tables. There are several awards, including Best Local Artist, along with a catered reception on Saturday night. A hanging fee of $40 helps defray the cost of the tent. The Local Artist Tent is a large pavilion directly adjacent to the entrance, a prime location for visibility and sales.

Applications are open until March 31.
