Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will host its annual Art Fair October 4 and October 5, celebrating unique craftmanship and creativity. The Art Fair will be held throughout Crystal Bridges and its scenic trails and grounds: including the Great Hall, South Lawn, Frank Lloyd Wright Bachman-Wilson Lawn, and Walker Landing. The festival will host artists from across the country, with artist workshops, art making, music, food, and more.

More than 70 talented artists from across the nation will come together to showcase a vibrant array of arts and crafts spanning every medium. Artists will showcase everything from zero-waste, ethically made clothing to creations featuring fossils, drawings, paintings, wood, metal, mixed media, jewelry, sculpture, and more. The festival is free and open to the public on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., welcoming artists, collectors, families, and art lovers of all ages. New this year, teen artists will also display and sell original artwork in the Teen Art Market.

Crystal Bridges members are invited to mingle with the Art Fair artists ahead of the festival on Friday, October 3, enjoying treats from Eleven and an opportunity to visit with the artists in a quieter setting.
