The Arts in the Middle Fine Arts Festival returns to Historic Hewick Plantation this weekend at 5123 Old Virginia Street in Urbanna. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. It is free and open to the public, with donations accepted for future festivals.

The weekend will be filled with visual, performing, and culinary arts, all set under an open sky and surrounded by the charm of one of Virginia’s most scenic historic homes, said a press release. Over 100 juried artists will showcase everything from painting and pottery to jewelry and sculpture, and local food vendors will be on hand.

Music will be an integral part of the weekend, said the release, with 14 different acts at two sites on the festival grounds. The big tent will house the main stage, while the smaller acoustic stage will be nestled under the trees.
