2026 Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exibition
Marion Square is transformed into a beautiful open-air market as some of the finest and most creative local artists exhibit and sell their work. Stroll through the park and browse the artists’ tents as you view original oils, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, encaustics, photography, and more. With many artists on hand to personally answer questions and show their artwork, the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition offers a memorable experience and a great way to enjoy the creativity of our local visual arts community whether you’re in the market for a new acquisition, or simply window shopping.
PSOAE is very pleased and excited to announce it has transitioned to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. They are celebrating with a new logo and a new website. VIEW HERE
