Arts Alive
About the application
Bring your art to life at the 2026 Loring Park Art Festival. The festival offers a limited number of spaces for artists and art organizations looking to demonstrate 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.
Arts Alive is not intended for artists seeking to sell their work at the festival without providing a demonstration or engaging community art activity. These artists should apply for an artist booth at https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=14081.
