About the event

Mark your calendars for October 17 (9-5) and 18 (9-4), rain or shine, to be a part of this soulful and fun connection of art, artists, music, and friends! This two-day festival has been a part of the lives of many collectors and undiscovered artists who are now in textbooks, galleries, and museums, such as the High Museum in Atlanta and the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C. The 2026 Kentuck Festival of the Arts will be held at Snow Hinton Park in Tuscaloosa, AL. The Kentuck Festival of the Arts will feature 270+ artists. They bring their art and unique stories of adventure and challenges that enrich and encourage the soul. Food trucks, craft beer, art demonstrations, a fun-filled kids’ area, music stage, and spoken word stage also bring delight to all of the senses! The Festival is part of the Kentuck Art Center's year-round programming, and we are proud to invite you to our 55th Festival to experience for yourself why so many call this festival “A Heaven of a Place”.

About the application

Tuscaloosa-area friends: Do you have an extra bedroom? Guest House? Mother-In-Law suite? Kentuck is looking for some superstar volunteers to host artists during the weekend of the Kentuck Festival of the Arts. Hotels and Airbnbs aren't always accessible to all our artists. This is a fantastic way to get to know an artist and help them continue doing what they love. As a small token of Kentuck's appreciation, host families will receive two weekend passes to the 55th Kentuck Festival of the Arts. Part of what makes the Kentuck Festival so special is the community that supports it. Thank you for helping make this festival a heaven of a place year after year!
