Art in the Square 2026

Art in the Square celebrates its 26th year as one of the top small fine art shows in the country, ranked #1 by the Sourcebook for 2019 and 2020. The show features 150 artists in Southlake Town Square, an upscale retail and business development with a beautiful park setting in an affluent Dallas/Fort Worth suburb. The 2½ day show runs Friday, April 24 (4 pm to 9 pm), Saturday, April 25 (10 am to 9 pm), and Sunday, April 26 (11 am to 6 pm), drawing attendance from both Dallas and Fort Worth with its relaxed, friendly atmosphere and serious potential shoppers.

Art in the Square is a non-profit festival hosted by the Southlake Women's Club, the City of Southlake and Southlake Town Square. Through sponsorships, fund raising and donations, the festival has raised more than three million dollars for local charities over the last 25 years. The show offers great food, quality music, children's activities and two student art programs, with strong media support via radio, TV, digital billboards and social media.

The festival provides spacious 10x10 booths ($550) or 10x20 double booths ($1050), with amenities including free electrical (300 watts per booth), 24-hour security, free parking, booth sitting, water and snacks delivery, complimentary meals, and optional tent rental. Artists compete for several awards including Featured Artist recognition, People's Choice Award, Award of Distinction (which includes a complimentary booth for 2027), and Juror's Choice Award. An Emerging Artist program ($300 booth fee) is available for developing artists in the DFW Metroplex who have not exhibited in any juried art show. All exhibits must be artist-created with original work occupying at least 75% of display space, and artists must be present throughout the entire event.
