Art in the Village Carlsbad

Held every Summer since 1998 (including our virtual gallery show in 2020), the Carlsbad Village Association has hosted Art in the Village, a free, one-day, open-air art show, that features fine artists from all over the region. For 2024, we are very excited to announce that the Carlsbad Village Association's 26th Annual Art in the Village show will take place on June 23rd! The 2023 event brought over 130 local and regional artists and musicians for a festive day of visual and performing arts. Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and travelers by offering a diverse selection of fine artists in media such as painting (oil, acrylic, watercolor), classical and contemporary sculpture, glass, drawing, photography, metal, mixed media, digital art, printmaking, wood, and fiber. Starting at 9 a.m. attendees browse exhibits, watch performance art, enjoy interactive demos, and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue right in the heart of downtown Carlsbad Village, just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach.
