The 45th Annual American Artisan Festival will take place this coming Father's Day weekend in Nashville, Tennessee at Centennial Park, the city's most historic and beautiful park featuring the Parthenon, one of Nashville's architectural treasures. While the show retains its original location, both the park and Nashville have experienced explosive growth in the past five years, making it an even better time to showcase your work to this growing, creative community.

We invite you to apply today for an incredible exhibition opportunity, as touted by fellow artists: historically very high art sales potential, consistently high national rankings among artists, a family-run business approach, and the opportunity to connect and sell to the dynamic community that is the new Nashville.
Of the artist exhibitors surveyed after the 2018 show,more than 90% reported they would love to come back to the show if invited again (thank you artists for the feedback!). The estimated revenue from this show per artist ranges based on medium, but the mean is around $8500 according to artist reports, and is known by local Nashvillians as the best high-end art fair hands down.

Always free to the public, the American Artisan Festival is visited by more than 25,000 annually. In addition to presenting 150 of the best artists in contemporary American handcrafts and fine art, fair goers also enjoy live music, free children's art booths, and more than fifteen artisanal food and drink booths including beer, wine and craft cocktails.
 
There will be a 'Nancy Saturn' People's Choice Award for $1000, as well as the of Best in Show Award for $500, which will be determined with our jury.
