The 2016 Arts Festival will feature 250 exhibitors, including 12 artistic award winners returning from the 2015 show. Artistic excellence of original, handcrafted work is the sole criteria for selection of exhibitors.
Higher than average sales are attributed to an educated art-buying audience, the event's layout and location in the heart of Denver's affluent district of Cherry Creek North. The visual artists' success and festival experience are the core values and measurements of success for the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.
The Arts Festival features artists in 13 different media categories including: ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, printmaking, jewelry, metalworks, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture and wood.
The CCAF also announces the 2016 Emerging Artist Program. This is an extraordinary opportunity for artists with very little, if any experience exhibiting and selling their work. Emerging Artists apply in the same manner as professional artists and submit their artwork through the category, "Emerging Artists."
