The festival will take place from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on April 18 in the 100 block of Shelby Street and feature the following events and activities:
- Chalk art and large canvas finger painting for kids
- Glassblowing with Ryan Gothrup

The one-day festival will also feature more than a dozen local and regional vendors, a gallery crawl and a number of demonstrations by local art groups.
“As in previous years, the Kingsport Arts Festival aims to showcase creativity and engagement, where folks can come down and see these works of art being formed before their very eyes,” said Program Leader Linore Huss. “We believe people will not only come away excited but also inspired by what they learned and created themselves.”
The Kingsport Arts Festival is a partnership between Kingsport Cultural Arts and Engage Kingsport.
