About the Edwardsville Art Fair

DESCRIPTION: 

The Edwardsville Art Fair, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is an annual 3-day outdoor juried arts celebration presenting approximately 100 talented local, regional, national, and international artists; local performing arts; live art demonstrations; children’s art gallery; a Maker's Space; and food and drink experiences. Located in beautiful historic City Park in Edwardsville, Illinois, 25 minutes from St. Louis, Missouri, the fair draws diverse, affluent and culturally invested visitors from around the region. This multi-year award winning event is known for its top-notch hospitality, excellent art, and gorgeous location! The event is free to the public.

The Edwardsville Arts Center is a nonprofit visual arts organization focused on bringing opportunities for local artists and facilitates the appreciation of art through education, exhibitions, outreach, and special events to our region. Proceeds from the Edwardsville Art Fair directly impact our programming, which includes weekly free art classes for kids, free art classes for seniors, educational opportunities for all ages, community outreach, and the Edwardsville Art Fair to ensure that art is accessible to everyone in our area.
