The ninth annual Arts in the Middle (AIM) Juried Arts Festival annually brings around 3,000 visitors to the Urbanna area the first weekend in June. The popular outdoor festival featured juried visual artists from up and down the east coast, local and student artists galleries, two venues offered an array of outstanding musicians, while SouperChefG’s Homemade Soups and Seasalt LLC provided food and sweet treats.
The 2023 show presented more than 100 artists from Florida to Connecticut, along with local communities and Middlesex High School. Juried artists exhibited in their own booths on AIM’s Artist Row offering original paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, mixed media, glasswork, furniture, and more. The Local Artist and Emerging Student galleries featured works from local artists, current and past high school artists.
Visitors walked along the historic lane under beautiful oaks with (or without) a glass of champagne or wine as they enjoyed and purchased favorite pieces of art. Many tasted SouperChefG’s Homemade Soups, Adam Ginsberg’s popular breakfast burritos, soups and AIM-specific lunch menu while listening to the music, poetry, readings, and historical tidbits.
