Galveston's 24th Annual Juried Fine Art Festival will take place October 16 & 17, 2021. This is a hybrid event which will include a two-day in-person show and a virtual online event. The face-to-face event is located on Postoffice Street in Galveston, Texas amid the historic charm of Galveston's Downtown Cultural Arts District. Over the past 24 years, our reputation has grown to be one of the best-juried events on the Gulf Coast. We generally have 8-10,000 attendees. The Island's hospitality and the relaxed atmosphere provide a beautiful outdoor setting in which to enjoy a weekend of fine art and fun! The on-line event will start on October 16th and run through October 31st.          ARToberFEST donates free booth space to local high school and college art students, to enable them to obtain valuable experience in the real world of creating, marketing, and selling their artwork. All proceeds from ARToberFEST will benefit educational programs at The Grand 1894 Opera House.
