Overlea ArtsFest is a free, family-friendly annual festival celebrating local new & emerging visual and performing artists. Artists and filmmakers of all genres and levels of experience are invited to submit their work to our juried show, which is held on the 2nd weekend of August every year at Holt Park & Center for the Arts. A diverse group of performance artists, singers, musicians and spoken word poets are chosen to perform at the event, and free art activities are offered for kids of all ages. Free art workshops are held on the 3rd day of the festival. There are no submission fees for artists to enter their work in the juried show. Overlea ArtsFest is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization in Maryland.
Overlea ArtsFest's art & film show encompasses up to 9 juried categories of 2D and 3D visual art, and short films.
