Holy Trinity Arts Festival 2026

You are invited to participate in the fifth annual Holy Trinity Arts Festival as we celebrate Spring and the Arts on Saturday, May 2, 2026. The Festival continues to grow, adding more artists and larger attendance every year. This event incorporates visual artists, performing artists, and floral arts design, as well as food vendors and a beer garden, to create a true Festival atmosphere.

The Holy Trinity Arts Festival is the first art show of the season for Lincoln, held outdoors on pavement with booth sites a minimum of 10' x 10'. Exhibitors are encouraged to provide their own tents, however tents are not mandatory. A small number of tents (10) are available for rental for an additional fee. This year features an inspiring work of public art called "1000 Birds of Peace" - origami birds created by children and adults from throughout the community that will be installed in the Church Sanctuary. The Children's Art Tent includes activities like mural fence painting, Squeegee Art, and quilt making with the International Quilt Museum.

Media categories include painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, fiber, ceramics, jewelry, glass, leather, metal, wood, sculpture, and mixed media. Artists may apply in more than one medium but must submit a separate application for each. Five digital images of individual pieces are required. The jury process uses three professional artists or gallery/museum curators with a blinded grading process. Application deadline is February 28, 2026, with notifications sent by March 6, 2026. Jury fee is $25 per application (waived for returning artists), and booth fees range from $100-$350 depending on size and tent rental. Artists receive 100% of sales proceeds and amenities include booth sitters, booth-side parking, and food/beverage coupons.
