Produced by the Wickford Art Association (WAA), Wickford Art Festival is one of the longest running outdoor fine arts festivals in New England. The festival cumulates with the Annual Scholarship Raffle of Fine Art held on Sunday afternoon. Proceeds benefit the WAA Scholarship Fund which awards scholarships to RI high school seniors attending an art college. WAA, a 501c3 non-profit, was founded in 1962 to educate its membership, the local community and general public and to promote the arts in the community.

Wickford is located 25 minutes south of Providence and 20 minutes from Newport, RI and less than 1 hour drive from CT and MA. Visit www.wickfordart.org for information.
