The Shops at Highland Village Hosts Eighth Annual Highland Village Art Festival

Highland Village, TX – The Shops at Highland Village partnered with the City of Highland Village to present the eighth annual Highland Village Art Festival on Saturday, May 7, 2022. This year’s festival featured 46 artist vendors showcasing a wide array of creations, including paintings, handcrafted cards, crochet items, jewelry, metal works, stained glass, hand-tooled leather goods, pottery, carved wood pieces, and more.

Festival entertainment included a balloon artist, face painter, and costumed characters. Guests also enjoyed hands-on activities such as a woodworking group hand-turning wooden cars for children, an obstacle course bounce house, and a community art project in which children, assisted by a local artist, created a 9×12-foot canvas painting representing the City of Highland Village. The completed mural will be displayed at The Shops at Highland Village before being donated to a local school.

Local youth groups also performed on stage, featuring dance troupes, solo singers, a cellist, a pianist, and students from the School of Rock Academy. The event concluded with a jazz performance by the Rosana Eckert Quartet on the Central Park stage.

The festival was a tremendous success, drawing the community together and celebrating the region’s artists, and organizers look forward to expanding vendor participation and attendance next year.
