Art on the Avenue 2025

Along Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray on Saturday, October 4, 2025 from 10am-6pm, you’ll find: Art on the Avenue, a multicultural arts festival celebrating our community’s diversity through the arts in Alexandria, Virginia. There will be entertainment for all ages, art activities, food, and artists displaying and selling their work all along Mount Vernon Avenue. Art on the Avenue is sponsored by the Del Ray Business Association.

Art Exhibit & Kids Art Corner

Directly in front of the gallery during Art on the Avenue, Del Ray Artisans will present member artwork, handcrafted greeting cards, and upcycled tote bags made from exhibit banners (booths W-194 and W-195). Inside the gallery, you’ll find the Bump in the Night art exhibit featuring art by local artists and our Alcove Gift Shop exclusively featuring work by Del Ray Artisans members.

Also visit Del Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic activity tent in the Kids’ Art Corner (Mount Vernon Recreation Center fields) to make scratchboard art!  The activity is for children of all ages. Drop-in to this self-paced activity between 10am-3pm.
