The Worthington Arts Festival is one of Central Ohio’s premier, community Fine Art/Fine Craft shows. This community event is produced by the McConnell Arts Center, in coordination with several community partners including the City of Worthington and Worthington Schools. Drawing 20,000 visitors annually, the Worthington Arts Festival has been ranked as one of the top 200 arts festivals in the nation by Sunshine Artist magazine.
In 2023, we returned to our roots at the Worthington Village Green. Located at the intersection of High Street and 161, the festival is featured on all four quadrants of the park and is just a short walk from all of the businesses and restaurants of Old Worthington. We will be returning to the Village Green in 2024 with over 120 artists!
The McConnell Arts Center looks forward to once again bringing our community together to celebrate creative arts experiences during the 2025 Worthington Arts Festival.
