Art at St. Kate's 2025

Art at St. Kate's is an annual outdoor art fair organized and run by artists for artists, located on the triangle-shaped green space at the corner of Randolph and Cleveland Avenues on the St. Paul campus of St. Catherine University. The event takes place on July 12, 2025, with set-up from 6-9:30 a.m. and take-down from 5-7 p.m.

Participation is open to 100 artists who produce art and fine craft, including basketry, clay, digital art, drawings, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, painting, photography, print-making, sculpture, wood, watercolor, and wearables. Personal care products do not fit the parameters of this show. Five established Upper Midwest artists are invited as featured artists; all other artists are juried into the show. All artwork must be both designed and produced by the applicant artist. No kits, commercial patterns, or molds may be used. Studios involved in volume production are not permitted. Artists must be present at the fair to exhibit their own work. Only one artist per booth; spaces may not be shared unless all artwork is fully collaborative with all applicants contributing to the creation of the art pieces.

Applicants must submit four images of their artwork and one image of their booth set-up/display, along with brief explanations of techniques and materials. The jury fee is $30 for non-members or $20 for Artists' Circle members (increasing to $40/$30 after March 21). The booth fee is $200, payable upon acceptance. Jury results will be provided no later than April 11. Artwork is juried on the basis of quality, originality, craftsmanship, creativity, skillful use of materials, presentation, and marketability. Each 12'x12' space allows for a 10'x10' canopy and storage. Artists must provide their own carts, canopy, display units, tables, and chairs. Contact [email protected] with questions.
