The art for display and sale will snazzify King Street for some six blocks between Washington and Union streets: as close as can be to Morrison House!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking paintings, prints, ceramics, jewelry, glasswork, sculptures, and so much more: on the order of $15 million of art spread out along this historic thoroughfare. Whether you\u2019re looking to purchase or simply want to browse the offerings and pick the brains of the artists, the King Street Art Festival is a fabulous excuse to get out and about in Old Town Alexandria\u2014and admission is free!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Associated Happenings During the King Street Art Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Close to the King Street goings-on, the&nbsp;<u><a href=\"http:\/\/torpedofactory.org\/\">Torpedo Factory Art Center<\/a><\/u>&nbsp;will be drawing festivalgoers to its merry Beer &amp; Wine Torpedo Garden from 11 AM to 4 PM each day\u2014and also, of course, to its dozens of working artist studios and multiple galleries featuring the work of well more than 100 local artists.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of local artists, the King Street Art Festival will be mustering funds to benefit them via Alexandria\u2019s non-profit The Art League through the Ice Cream Bowl Fundraiser, wherein you can buy a ceramic bowl handmade by an Art League artist for a mere $15 and have it happily filled with a scoop of ice cream to boot. By purchasing a bowl (and the frozen treat within), you&#8217;ll also get to enter a drawing for an Art League certificate and ceramic piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take in the 16<\/strong><strong><sup>th<\/sup><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Annual King Street Art Festival From Luxury Accommodations at Morrison House<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dive in to two full days of art appreciation at the 2018 King Street Art Festival this September, and choose an Autograph Collection guest room or suite at Morrison House for the occasion.
