Duluth Spring Arts Festival 2026

The Duluth Spring Arts Festival invites artists to apply for a vibrant, high-quality spring show in the heart of downtown Duluth, one of Gwinnett County’s most walkable and art-supportive communities. Set around the Town Green and surrounding streets, this professionally produced festival welcomes thousands of patrons eager to engage with and purchase original artwork.

This juried  arts and crafts festival is designed to showcase exceptional, handmade work across a broad range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, glass, ceramics, metal, wood, jewelry, fiber, mixed media, and functional art. Duluth audiences are known for their appreciation of quality craftsmanship, distinctive design, and artists who are present and engaged with their work.

The festival features strong municipal support, thoughtful layout planning, and an inviting downtown atmosphere with restaurants, shops, and green space that encourage guests to linger and explore. Artists benefit from excellent visibility, steady foot traffic, and a community that values the arts as part of its identity.

Artists selected for the Duluth Spring Arts Festival can expect clear communication, organized load-in and load-out, and a well-promoted event timed to capture the energy of the spring season. This festival is ideal for artists seeking a polished suburban show with serious art buyers and a welcoming environment.
