Art Affaire 2026

Art Affaire is a juried fine art and fine craft show held on Main Street in historic downtown Milford, Ohio. The event features over 130 artists and musicians, and is the 20th year for this show, which serves as the major fundraiser for the Greater Milford Historical Society and the preservation of Promont Museum.

The show accepts original work in the following categories: ceramic/clay, digital, pastel/colored pencil, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed, all types of paint, photography, paper, sculpture, wearable art, wood, and any other medium that fits the fine art or fine craft category. Artists who create work in multiple mediums must submit a separate application and jury fee for each medium. At Art Affaire, artists are asked to exhibit primarily in the medium they are accepted in. Displaying distinctly different art types may affect a judge's review during the awards process, and selling items outside the juried category may disqualify an artist from awards and future participation.

The application fee is $35 (non-refundable). Upon acceptance, a booth fee of $100 is required (refundable until July 26, 2026). Booth spaces measure 13x13 and artists must supply their own tent (10x10 or smaller) and setup materials. Setup begins Saturday, September 26, at 7:00 am with no early setup option. Artist parking will be designated in offsite lots with shuttle service provided during setup and teardown. Acceptance emails will be sent on a rolling basis approximately 3-4 weeks after application, and artists have 14 days to submit the booth fee. Awards include: Best in Show ($500), First Place ($300), Second Place ($200), Honorable Mention ($100), Best New Artist ($100), and Best Local Artist ($200). Best New Artist qualifies if it has been 5 or more years since your last Art Affaire show (prior to 2021). Best Local Artist must reside in Milford or Miami Township. Prior award winners from 2025 should email [email protected] rather than submit an application. The event runs September 26, 2026, rain or shine with no rain date.
