Art for One & One for Art - Artsposure this Friday-Sunday May 21-22
For the 37th year, Artsplosure, Raleigh's Arts Festival begins Friday, May 20 and continues through Sunday, May 22. There's something for everyone this year with an incredible lineup of  music performances, Art Market and Kidsplosure in downtown Raleigh. New this year... The festival will have two fully programmed sites complete with performance stages: the Fayetteville St. Art Market, anchored by the City Plaza Main Stage, and the Moore Square festival area and Park Stage.
The juried Art Market will return to Fayetteville St. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with Main Stage performances each evening. 'Artlets' featuring dance, theatre, and other interactive activities will occur on each of the intersecting streets branching from Fayetteville St. Moore  Square will hold Kidsplosure festivities, as well as the Art Putt miniature golf course, and Park Stage performances on both Saturday and Sunday. As it has been for 37 years, admission is free for Artsplosure. This 'Art For All' festival is planned and presented for the whole community to enjoy.
This year's Art Market will open at 11am on Friday, featuring over 170 visual artists from across North Carolina and the nation. This juried art market will stretch across and down Fayetteville Street where there's plenty of space to view each artist's booth.  The artists and crafters exhibit and sell their original works of art in the following categories: ceramics, fiber art, glass, jewelry, metal, painting, photography, wood, other 2D and 3D works. Three expert judges will award $3,500 across six merit awards to the top artists in the market. Fayetteville Street will be filled with music beginning Friday at 5:15pm on the Main Stage at City Plaza, with performances by Donovan Woods, Zack Mexico, and Futurebirds.
Music - Starting at 12pm Saturday, Artsplosure will open the City Plaza Main Stage on Fayetteville Street with director, Joel Martin and Southeast High School's jazz ensemble and Enloe High School's jazz ensemble to follow at 1pm. Afterwards, Martin will return to Artsplosure's City Plaza Main Stage to perform his original work "JAZZICAL Rocks!" at 2pm, which is sure to dazzle audiences and continue to inspire our next generation of musicians. In the afternoon and evening, the stage will showcase the talents of the Shana Tucker Trio, Boulevards, and Doyle Bramhall II. The Moore Square Park Stage opens at 2pm with Donovan  Woods, followed by Irish Mythen, Mo Kenney, and The Stellas.
On Sunday, the Moore Square Park Stage begins at 1pm with Hazelwood, followed by the Way Down Wanderers and Mardi Gras Indian band CHA WA. The City Plaza Main Stage begins at 2pm with music by Bronze Radio Return and Samantha Fish. Artsplosure is thrilled to welcome blues legend Sonny Landreth as the finale to the festival's 37th Anniversary. Click here for entire music line-up. Kidsplosure opens in Moore Square at 11am on Saturday with special performances by Meredith College's Suzuki Violin group, One Tribe Drum Circle and a slew of local young  talents from across the Triangle. As always, Moore Square will be filled with crafts and other interactive activities for children to enjoy and learn.
Art Putt, which was a smash hit at First Night, is going to be in Moore Square where anyone can putt their way through 9 holes of golf. Visitors will putt through an interactive art installation of original artwork designed by local artists.

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on
The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of
The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
