10th Annual Oliver Street Art Festival Celebrates Regional Artists and Community Spirit

North Tonawanda, NY - The 10th Annual Oliver Street Art Festival, a beloved event in the Oliver Street neighborhood, is set to take place on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The festival, which is free to attend and family-friendly, will showcase over 65 regional artist vendors, live music, local food, and family-friendly activities.

Located on the high-traffic block of Oliver Street between Robinson and Schenck Streets, the festival is hosted and organized by the Project 308 Gallery. Established in 2012, the gallery aims to support emerging artists by hosting multimedia art events in its space. The Oliver Street Art Festival has been a significant part of the gallery's mission, providing a platform for artists to showcase their work and connect with the community.

In addition to the artist vendors, visitors can also enjoy the "Yielding Form" exhibition, featuring artwork by Sara Baker Michalak, Audrey Kay Dowling, and Barbara Murak. The exhibition, on view inside the Project 308 Gallery during the festival, showcases the artists' deeply personal and material-driven practices, rooted in process, surface, and organic form.

The festival is supported by the Oliver Street Merchants Association, regional businesses, local officials, and the wider creative community. Partners include The Old Chapel Antique & Artisan Market, The Vegan Grocery Store, The Fish Place, Brando's Pizza, and Flying Bison Brewing Co.

Artist vendor applications are still being accepted, and interested artists can apply through the provided link. The festival organizers encourage artists to submit their work, as vendor fees have never exceeded $50 since the festival's inception.
