Now in its 60th year, the Bath County Art Show is a treasured summer tradition and the region’s largest and most anticipated visual arts event. Showcasing work from over 300 artists across the Mid-Atlantic, the show features an extraordinary range of mediums. Most pieces are available for purchase, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts to support both emerging and established talent.

More than just an exhibition, the Art Show fuels the mission of the Bath County Arts Association. Proceeds directly fund scholarships, arts education in local schools, community grants, music programming, and creative opportunities for all ages.

Join us in celebrating six decades of creativity, connection, and the power of the arts to enrich life in Bath County.
