Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show - 22nd Annual, September 2026

The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show is consistently recognized as one of the best Fine Art Shows in the country. Only original, non-functional fine art is accepted. The show is led by a non-profit organization of fellow professional artists, with the Board of Directors exhibiting in both annual shows. The focus on extensive marketing through the show's website, social media, emailed newsletters, regional outdoor signage, and targeted advertising has propelled customer growth, contributing to a 98-year history of distinction.

The 22nd Annual September show runs September 18-20, 2026, with 145 available artist spaces. The venue is the perimeter of Rittenhouse Square, a prestigious park setting in Center City Philadelphia. Surrounded by some of the most luxurious residential addresses in the city, the show consistently attracts an affluent, culturally educated clientele. This competitive show is limited to 145 exhibitors chosen by a jury of highly qualified fine artists and guest jurors based on quality, uniqueness, consistency, and professionalism of artwork.

The application fee is $45.00 and requires five images: four individual pieces of current artwork and one current booth shot in an outdoor setting. Acceptable media categories include non-functional ceramics, drawing/pastels, non-functional glass, mixed media, oil & acrylic painting, watercolor painting, printmaking, and sculpture. No reproductions, functional work, or mass-produced items are permitted. Artists may apply in multiple categories with separate applications and fees for each medium.
