About the application

Bring art to life at the Stone Arch Bridge Festival, June 20 and 21, 2026. The festival offers a limited number of spaces for artists and organizations looking to demonstrate or create community art as a means of education, promotion and engagement with attendees. As part of this featured festival programming, demonstrators will be listed on the festival website and promoted via social media before/after the event to encourage fairgoers to visit these interactive booths and learn about the demonstrators/organizations.

 

Visual artists seeking to sell their work at the festival without providing a demonstration, community art, or engaging activity should apply for an artist booth at https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=14080.
