Art Springs 2026

Art Springs is hosted by The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance as part of an annual 10-day arts festival known as Arts & The Park. The festival celebrates, advocates, and promotes the arts and culture of Hot Springs and surrounding areas.

Art Springs is a free, two-day festival that attracts thousands of attendees. Artists and fine crafters set up booth spaces to sell and demonstrate their work, including painting, sculpture, metalworking, fiber arts, jewelry, and more. The festival features a stage with live music, poetry, and theater performances, a kids' creation station for hands-on arts experiences, community art projects including a sidewalk chalk competition and steamroller art exhibition, and food trucks and beverages.

Applicants must submit at least 4 photos of works they will be selling, with a booth display photo encouraged. Entry fee is $30. Booth fees range from $100-$225 depending on size and electric hookup, due by April 15, 2026. Applicants must be 18 years old, submit original work appropriate for a family-friendly setting, and be available for the entire festival or arrange for booth coverage. All applicants are selected through a juried review process. Artists, fine crafters, arts organizations, and art collectives are eligible.
