The Woodlands Waterway Arts Council announces a call to artists for their 10th annual juried art festival at The Woodlands Waterway and Town Green Park. Our ten year celebration will feature 200 artists in 14 media categories showing original creations at our beautiful venue beside the waterway. Eligible categories of art are clay, digital art, drawing & pastels, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal works, mixed media 2D and 3D, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and wood.
The festival has grown from a quality regional 
festival to one that is nationally recognized and ranked among the top ten festivals in the U.S. by Art Fair Source Book. The Woodlands area is home to major corporations and an affluent and growing population. With unprecedented growth in residential and office construction there is a continuing appetite for quality art and craftsmanship.
festival to one that is nationally recognized and ranked among the top ten festivals in the U.S. by Art Fair Source Book. The Woodlands area is home to major corporations and an affluent and growing population. With unprecedented growth in residential and office construction there is a continuing appetite for quality art and craftsmanship. More than 18,000 people attended last year's festival in this master-planned community 30 miles from Houston, home to over 100,000 people and 5000 businesses. The Woodlands has over 460 world-class shops, including renowned department stores, specially shops and unique boutiques. Many exhibiting artists have enjoyed one or more of nearly 150 area restaurants.
The Woodlands Waterway Arts Council, Inc., a non-profit organization with Board of Directors, Advisory Committee and more than 700 community volunteers, presents the festival. The mission is to provide regional cultural enrichment opportunities that encourage, support and promote the performing and visual arts. Proceeds from the festival benefit our local charity partners involved in bringing fine art and experiences to the community, as well as extend scholarship opportunities to many aspiring young artists. The community is supportive and involved, and we have the greatest corps of volunteers in Texas!
This celebration of the arts attracts art patrons and tourists from across the nation as one of The Woodlands premier attractions. Performing arts, delicious food, wine tasting and an "Art of Food" Chef demonstration tent add to the experience, but it's all about the art!
