More than one hundred artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, crafters, and businesses will once again gather for a second integrated arts festival in the University District.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and nearby AllCare Physical Therapy will serve as anchor locations for the festival that will host vendors, free takeaway art booth projects, displays, a long list of fine artists, and live music in addition to integrated art activities hosted at local businesses. Caribana Buffalo has partnered to make colorful head-dresses in honor of Buffalo Caribana weekend. Buffalo International Festival will offer visitors the opportunity to be videotaped. DYNAMIC DRUM ARTS will be making drums, showing you how to play and then inviting you to be part of their afternoon performance. The Queen City Bookstore  will have the Comicon mascot on on hand to pass out tickets and prizes. Chalk artist David Pierro will do a live masterpiece.

The diverse lineup of entertainment  includes pop/folk music, traditional Indian music, and positive rap music. Entertainers include: Dynamic Drum Arts, MC Zill, Kate Bernard, UG and the Youngins, The Buffalo Ukelele Club, Kerflugidy, and Morris Tucker. Relativity Belly Dance will also perform.

Among the highlights of this year's festival is the UHAA-St. Andrew Sculpture Garden, which opened for the first time in July. The second phase of the "Wood, Metal and Stone" exhibition featuring additional works of Mollie Atkinson with Ken Kash, Richard Rockford with Robert Then, William Herod, and Lawrence Kinney will provide a backdrop for "POETS ON ART IN THE GARDEN" in which poets will read their art-inspired poetry. Led by Patricia Tansey, the literary lineup includes Peter Siedlecki, Celeste Lawson, Karen Lee Lewis, Richard LaClair, Irene Sipos, and Theresa Wyatt. The garden will also host acoustic guitar performances throughout the day.

Main Street businesses from St. Andrew's Church on the corner of Lisbon Ave. to Winspear Avenue will compliment the art they host on their walls throughout the year with music, crafts, and store specials. Visitors who patronize Main Street businesses will be offered free tickets toward prizes to be raffled. Some stores will act as anchors for themed art activities.
