South Street Art Festival 2027

A juried opportunity for artists to exhibit and sell original fine art at a three-day outdoor festival in Downtown Arlington, Texas. Artists retain all sales revenue, with no commission collected. The captured official page conflicts on the festival dates, listing both April 3–5 and April 9–11, 2027, so exact activity dates are not normalized here.

Original fine art

Applicants must generally be at least 18; exceptions may be considered for special circumstances if the artist's guardian contacts the Artist Relations Director before applying. Each medium entered requires four JPEGs: three work images and one booth-display image. The work must be original and handcrafted by the exhibiting artist or identified collaborating artists; work by apprentices or employees and commercial kits, molds, prefabricated forms, embellished objects, edible art, and other specified commercial methods are ineligible. Artists must apply and exhibit only in their accepted media category and must be present throughout the festival; equally collaborating artists must both be present. The application fee is a nonrefundable $25. Accepted artists pay $325 for a 10x10 booth or $650 for a 10x20 booth; a limited corner upgrade is $100, while accepted Emerging Artists pay $150. Artists must provide a clean white tent, and their festival display and types of work must match the submitted booth image. Artists retain all sales revenue but are responsible for collecting and paying applicable sales taxes. Emerging Artist applicants must have participated in no more than three juried art festivals during the preceding six months and may apply only in that category.
