Palm Springs Art Festival - March 7 - 8, 2026

The Palm Springs Art Festival will return to Uptown Palm Springs on March 7 - 8, 2026, for its 37th year at Frances Stevens Park in downtown Palm Springs, California. This two-day outdoor celebration of the visual arts typically features the work of 75 exhibitors and aims to provide a venue for creators of quality fine art and fine craft to meet with the art-buying public. The artwork accepted into the event will include 2 and 3-dimensional mixed media, ceramics, digital, glass, jewelry, paintings, photography, sculpture, and other.

The jury is comprised of professionals working within the art community who use a blinded jury process to review four images provided by each artist. Artistic excellence is the sole criterion for selection. All booth spaces accommodate display tents measuring 10' X 10' or 10' X 20' with white canopies required. Artists must exhibit work on all days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and pay a 10% commission on all sales made at the fair.

Application requirements include five images (four individual pieces and one booth shot), a $25 non-refundable jury fee, and booth fees of $400 for 10' X 10' spaces or $650 for 10' X 20' spaces. The application deadline is December 19, 2025, with email notification on December 22, 2025. Accepted artists must commit and remit booth fees by January 12, 2026. Artists must be present with their work for the entire event and can only exhibit original fine art and fine craft - no imports, commercial, or purchased for resale work.
