Get matched →The Downtown Doral Arts Festival is a 2-day, free-to-public outdoor fine arts festival featuring two city blocks of tree-lined 53rd Street in Downtown Doral, a vibrant community with an anticipated attendance of 8,000 art buyers and collectors.
Each exhibiting artist must complete an online application. A separate application must be completed for each medium category. Each application requires five (5) images: four (4) of individual work and one (1) mandatory booth shot showing your booth as it would be set up for exhibition at an outdoor show with work displayed, without revealing your artist name or having people in the booth. An artist statement is required; use it to convey the process used to create your work.
Artists are selected by a blind jury, meaning jurors do not know artist names or information. The four-member panel of experienced art professionals scores works on quality of workmanship, originality, and artistic conception. A waitlist by category will be established based on jury scores. Images from accepted artists will be retained for promotion and rule adherence.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
The festival offers Friday set-up with staggered times beginning at 12:00 PM, drive-up access for unloading/loading, professional 24-hour security, oversized booth spaces with at least three feet between booths, facility restroom access, reserved artist parking, and free secure parking for artist RVs. The festival is accessible to artists with disabilities, including accessible booths, parking on solid surfaces with accessible trolleys, and on-site support volunteers.
Each accepted and waitlist artist must maintain an accurate and up-to-date artist profile in Zapp through December 2026, including telephone, email, website, and postal mail. Check your email often as all acceptance and pertinent information will be communicated electronically. Only one artist per entry is allowed unless entering as collaborating artists.
