This popular, free, outdoor festival of art, food and music, now in its forty second year, is sponsored by Village Artisans Gallery of Yellow Springs. Both new and returning artists will present their ceramics, drawings, fiber art, garden art, glass, jewelry, leatherwork, mixed media, paper craft, paintings, photography and more. Food vendors and live music complement the outstanding, juried artwork.

Of the more than 100 artists, approximately two-thirds are returning artists while the rest are new to this show.

Returning this year is Art on the Lawn's Featured Artist Amy Noffsinger, of Out of Bounds Creations, is a multi-faceted artist from Camp Dennison, OH. Noffsinger won Best of Show at the 2025 Art on the Lawn. She is primarily a glass artist and explains, “I am by nature a collector, and have saved things from my travels that I use in my mosaic art. My pieces typically include hand cut stained glass, glass millefiori, African, Indonesian and Czech glass beads, vintage porcelain figurines, porcelain and bisque doll parts amount other items. My work celebrates the things that comfort, inspire and empower me.”

Noffsinger has been doing mosaic art since 2020 and states, “I discovered mosaic art during the COVID 19 shutdown and became enamored with the process. I made so many mosaics that I filled the house, and as a result started selling my work so that I could continue producing more.”

She also is an active participant in a number of arts events throughout the region including Summerfair in Cincinnati, The Talbot Street Art Fair in Indianapolis, The Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair in Ann Arbor, MI and Winterfair in Columbus, Ohio.
