ArtWalk Liberty Station 2026

The 21st Annual ArtWalk Liberty Station takes place in a beautiful park setting in San Diego's premier arts and culture district, Arts District Liberty Station. Booths are laid out in pods of two or four, giving every artist a corner space. The event is extremely well-marketed, drawing over 20,000 attendees each year and attracts both local art collectors as well as visitors vacationing in San Diego's upscale hotels. The fine art festival begins Friday, July 31st, with the ArtWalk Liberty Station Preview Party, and participation in the Preview Party is required.

As a participating artist you'll receive the benefit of an aggressive marketing and public relations program, including local, regional and national publicity, print and broadcast advertising, as well as a large social media following.
