Art on the Avenue is a multicultural arts festival held in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, celebrating our community’s diversity through the arts. You can find Made by Caylea at BOOTH W 144 (between E. Uhler Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue!).

Every year, thousands of visitors stroll down Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, Alexandria, between Bellefonte and Hume Avenues — people are greeted by more than 300 artists (jewelers, silversmiths & beaders, woodworkers, pottery makers, soap crafters, glass makers, unique painters, sculptors, fabric artists & more), musicians (Irish, folk, rock-n-roll, country & more), and food vendors (hot dogs, BBQ, Indian, Mexican, pizza, crab cakes, chocolate bananas dipped on sticks, homemade cider donuts & more). Kids activities have always been a vital part of the festival — stuff your own scarecrow, paint a pumpkin, lotus flower design, weave screen art, to name a few.

I’m so excited to return to this festival and I hope to see you there!
