Held regularly since 1999, Artomatic transforms an unfinished indoor space into an
exciting and diverse arts event that is free and open to the public. In addition to displays
and sales by hundreds of artists, the event features free films, educational presentations
and children’s activities, as well as musical, dance, poetry, theater and other
performances.

“This is the biggest Artomatic ever, with an abundance of exhibits and performances that
will be open to all — from recognized artists to undiscovered talents,” said George Koch,
Artomatic chair. “You won’t want to miss opening weekend, and once you’ve
experienced Artomatic, you’ll want to keep coming back for more.”
