The show runs 10:00am to 6:00pm on Saturday and 11:30am to 5:30pm on Sunday.  This show beats the heat or inclement weather as all 38 artists are indoors.  But we're still hoping for great weather as we will once again have the perfoming artist stage in the garden area, featuring 5 musical acts and the Muscle Memory Dance Theatre.<br />

We have added a special evening event this year.  The Art, Wine & Jazz Gala will be Saturday, September 6th and features an appetizer buffet, beer and wine, and live jazz.
