Art on the Rockies presents Vail Fine Arts August 14, 15, & 16 in Lionshead Village, Vail, Colorado. This is the 7th year exhibiting in the famous Rocky Mountain community of Vail, a lush summer vacation spot for affluent, local, and national buyers. The festival runs Friday through Sunday from 10 am - 5 pm each day, showcasing 60 fine artists from around the country with free admission. All booths will be on pavement in 2026.

The jury is conducted by a panel of three art professionals, plus a judge specific to jewelry, with up to 55 artists selected to exhibit.
