The 46th Annual Coolidge Corner Arts Festival will be held on June 6, 2026 from 11am-6pm, rain or shine, in the heart of Coolidge Corner along Babcock Street and the adjacent parking lot between Harvard Street and John Street in Brookline, MA. The festival will feature 90+ juried exhibitors showcasing exceptional work in 2-D and 3-D art, printmaking, ceramics, fiber, wearables, glass, jewelry, metal, leather, paper, photography, wood and mixed media. The festival will also include food trucks, a beer and wine garden, and patio dining.

Coolidge Corner is a vibrant commercial district easily accessible via the MBTA Green Line and bus system, with street parking and several parking lots available. Brookline is a wealthy residential neighborhood with an average household income of $155,000, bordered by Boston on three sides and home to colleges, universities, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical/research companies.

Only work made by the accepted artist and associates/assistants under their immediate supervision will be accepted. No booth sharing is permitted except for artists with collaborative work or official business partnerships. No mass-produced, buy-sell products or imports are allowed. Accepted artists may only exhibit work within their juried category, and work quality must be consistent with juried photos. Jewelry applicants must fabricate the majority of components; jewelry assembled from commercially available components, beads, and stones will not be considered. If jewelry represents more than 15% of your work, you must apply under the Jewelry category. White tents and weights (minimum 40lb per leg) are required.
