A weeklong, town-wide festival brings free arts programming, live performances, and creative collaborations back to Huntington this March.
Following a hugely successful inaugural year, Huntington Art Week (HAW) is officially returning to the Town of Huntington from March 9 through March 15, 2026. Organized by the collaborative team of Colored Colors, Digho, and G6 Digital Media, the festival aims to once again transform the village into a thriving cultural hub, offering more than 50 diverse, free, and accessible programs designed for residents, visitors, families, and art lovers alike.
After drawing over 2,600 visitors in 2025, the event continues to build momentum by strengthening connections between local artists, businesses, and the broader community.
Art Meets Community and Commerce
At its core, Huntington Art Week is about creating meaningful connections-not only between artists and audiences, but also between the creative community and local businesses.
“Our goal is to ensure every program is properly executed to provide maximum value for both the artist and the host venue,” said José Tutiven of the HAW Committee. “We are creating an ecosystem where art drives foot traffic into our small businesses, and those businesses, in turn, become the stage for New York’s incredible creative talent.”
This year’s programming includes family-friendly activities, live performances, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops, all designed to make the arts approachable, engaging, and accessible to everyone.
