The Festival features 120 fine art artists from across the United States and is 100% organized and operated by community volunteers.
Artists selected as the best in their respective categories, along with the Best of Show winner, receive cash awards totaling $3,500. Award winners are automatically invited to return the following year and are exempt from the jury process.
Please remove all identifying information from your application images, including artist names, business names, booth signs, signatures, and photographs of the artist, to ensure jurors evaluate your work without knowing your identity. Applications that do not comply will be marked INCOMPLETE until corrections are made.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Application and booth fees are nonrefundable once payment has been received.
The Festival features live entertainment on three stages, a silent auction, and several food vendors. The annual Silent Auction raises funds for college scholarships for local high school students pursuing arts careers. Participating artists are encouraged to donate a piece of artwork to support this initiative.
