Nearly 30 members of the Arcadia community, including students, faculty, and staff, will be hawking their creations at the annual Downtown Glenside Arts Festival on Saturday, May 3. 

They will join dozens of other vendors in selling various kinds of works, including art, jewelry, ceramics, glassware, and other items, at the crossroads of Easton Road and Glenside Avenue from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Local shops and restaurants will also be on hand, in addition to food trucks, ice cream, wine and beer, live entertainment, activities for kids, and more.

The list of Arcadia vendors includes:

Ellie Breault ’25, a Fine Arts major concentrating in Fine Metals and Jewelry, will be selling jewelry pieces such as viking chain necklaces and bracelets, beaded bracelets, and beaded/enameled/wooden earrings. She’ll also be offering crocheted and knitted pieces, including stuffed animals, keychains, pins, and scarves.

“I found out about the opportunity to do the Glenside Art Festival as a vendor with Arcadia back in my first year of school, but I wasn’t interested in selling my work until last year,” she explained. “I didn’t get to do [the art festival] last year because of a health issue, but I am excited to do it this year! Selling my work is something I started doing last year during the campus art sales and enjoy doing.”

The Arts Festival is sponsored by the Downtown Glenside Foundation (DGF), in partnership with Arcadia and Cheltenham Township. Breault encourages others to put themselves out there by selling their work.

“For anyone that is thinking of doing the art festival, do it, because it’s a great opportunity and you can get your face and art out into the world.”
