Revived Tapestry Arts festival aims for a grass-roots feel in History Park
San Jose's Tapestry Arts festival, a fixture of the Bay Area's summer art fair circuit since the 1970s, was canceled in 2010 because the recession-battered nonprofit Tapestry Arts group couldn't afford to put on the show. But with help from History San Jose, another nonprofit, Tapestry Arts is reviving its signature festival this Labor Day weekend in History Park, with some notable changes.
Once a downtown street fair prominently featuring art, the newly christened Taste of Tapestry is evolving to offer a smorgasbord of experiences set amid the park's historic buildings, organizers say.
Veteran visitors this year will recognize the juried art show featuring jewelry artists, fabric artists, painters and more. But the two-day festival Saturday and next Sunday will also feature authors presenting their work, representatives from the San Jose Earthquakes soccer team, children's entertainment, tours of a newly planted garden by members of the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County and even auditions for a televised talent show.
