Art in the Arena Frisco

The inaugural Art in the Arena Frisco is the first of its kind indoor fine art festival in North Texas located in Frisco, Texas, just 20 miles from the Dallas – Fort Worth International Airport, where artists exhibit their work inside the Comerica Center Sports Arena (home of the NHL Dallas Stars / Frisco Fighters Football / Texas Legends Basketball). On August 16- VIP *Night in the Arena with $50 VAGF donation. On August 17 & 18, Patrons will enjoy free entry and complimentary covered parking (space permiting), live music provided by Melody of Hope on the main stage throughout the entire event, and up to 60 emerging and professional artists to engage with to create an event you don't want to miss! Sponsored in part by the Dallas Stars and made possible in part by a grant from the Frisco Arts Foundation, the Art in the Arena Frisco 2024 Festival is a showcase of a large variety of fine art from local artists but is open to all levels and regions of visual artists (no craft art booths are accepted at this time) and provides our patrons with the opportunity to meet and talk with the artist who created the work. Kick off this exciting weekend with an Exclusive, Limited Entry VIP Night in the Arena: August 16th from 6pm-9pm.
