Berea Arts Fest 35th Annual, 2025

The Berea Arts Fest is a one-day, invitational, multi-arts festival held in historic Berea, Ohio. The 35th annual festival will be held Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 10a-5p at Coe Lake, situated in the heart of Berea. Attendance is completely free and the festival takes place rain or shine. Approximately one hundred professional fine artists and craftspeople will display their works for sale. There will be a demonstrating artist and an Art Raffle offering chances to win art donated by the participating artists. Performing artists will entertain from multiple locations surrounding Coe Lake.

The Festival committee encourages and supports creative people with disabilities and students of all ages. In the Special Exhibits area, art & cultural projects are on display from groups throughout the greater Cleveland area including Very Special Arts (art created by persons with disabilities) and student art from elementary, middle, high school, college and adult education classes from the Berea School District and Berea Historical Society. A unique component is the Kids Kreation Station offering hands-on arts experiences for the entire family with approximately 3-4 projects that children can complete, plus easel painting and face painting.

Each artist may submit, display, and sell in only one medium. The jury fee is $20 and booth spaces are $125 for a 10' x 10' space. All work must be original, priced, and signed by the artist. All paintings, drawings, graphics, and other two-dimensional work must be framed, mounted and/or matted, or displayed tastefully in a portfolio on an appropriate stand. Each artist shall be present representing his/her own work. The Arts Fest hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with vehicle unloading in the exhibit area completed by 9:00 AM.
