Babcock Ranch Art Show 2026

The Babcock Ranch Art Show is a 2-day boutique art show held in the vibrant town of Babcock Ranch, featuring approximately 60 exceptional artists in a circular layout with at least 3 feet spacing in a lakefront park-like setting. This free-to-the-public show takes place March 14-15, 2026, in Founders Square, centered in the town square of the first solar-powered town in the U.S. The application deadline is October 31, 2025, with a $25 application fee and $325 booth fee plus 7% sales tax.

Professionally managed by the nationally ranked ArtFest Fort Myers team, the show promotes extensive advertising throughout Lee and Charlotte Counties through newspapers, radio, billboards, and online advertising with paid and organic Facebook ads featuring artist work. Artists benefit from drive-up access to booth locations on setup day, indoor restrooms, convenient free artist parking, professional overnight security, and oversized booth spaces with storage space behind booths.

Artists are selected through a jury process to create a well-balanced show representing artistic diversity in categories including Ceramics, Digital, Drawing/Pastels, Fiber, Glass, Jewelry, Metal, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Watercolor, Wearable, and Wood. The show is open to all artists, with artwork required to be original in design. A portion of booth fees supports art education for at-risk children through partnership with Babcock Ranch School.
