Organized by the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, this year the festival runs from June 5th-11th. The juried show awards $15,000 in awards and prizes and culminates in two signature events, Bucks County Community College's Tyler Tasting Party on June 9 and a public festival on June 10 & 11.
This year, New Hope will be a featured destination for the artists on June 7th. The town will be full of artists using the canal, river, bridge, and streetscapes as their inspiration.

The organizing committee is excited to welcome some of the country's most accomplished artists to vibrant and historic Bucks County. If you would like to host an artist for the week (and receive an artist paining as a memento of the experience), please contact us at newhopechamber@gmail.com for details.
