August 8th-30th, 2026: Mare Island Art Studios; Art of Community Festival 2026
Mare Island Art Studios is proud to present the 3rd Annual Art of Community Festival, a month-long celebration of creativity, culture, and community taking place throughout August on the historic Mare Island waterfront.
What began as a grassroots community art exhibition has grown into a dynamic festival that brings together artists, youth creatives, makers, cultural organizations, and community members in a shared celebration of the people and ideas that make Vallejo unique.
This year, organizers are especially excited to welcome acclaimed Bay Area artist Diana Krevsky as the festival's featured Legacy Artist. The festival is also honored to collaborate with Vallejo Teaching Artists (VTA) and curator James Orlando, whose partnership helps strengthen its commitment to supporting emerging artists and fostering meaningful community engagement through the arts.
Together, these collaborations reflect the heart of the Art of Community Festival: creating opportunities for artists of all ages and backgrounds to connect, share their work, and inspire one another.
