The Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts is a juried show that brings together nearly 400 fine artists and craftspeople for a three-day celebration of creativity in the heart of Fountain Hills. Now in its 52nd year, the Festival is one of the Southwest’s premier art events, drawing more than 150,000 visitors annually and earning a reputation for showcasing high-quality, original work across every medium—from painting, photography, and sculpture to woodworking, jewelry, mixed media, authors and more.

For artists, the Fountain Festival is a platform to stand out. With its rigorous jury process, the show celebrates innovation, craftsmanship, and fresh vision. It is known for artists who who are unique, friendly and engaging, and it attracts a large, appreciative audience ready to hear their stories. The community atmosphere is vibrant and supportive, making it a favorite among exhibitors. Artists who apply can expect to be part of an event that values originality, fosters creative exchange, and offers meaningful exposure and sincere relationships.

For attendees, this is more than an art show—it’s a full sensory experience. Unique, one-of-a-kind pieces invite you to slow down, stop, and connect. The wide range of styles, materials, and price points ensures there’s something for every taste and every collector, from seasoned buyers to casual shoppers. Food booths, a beer garden with live music, and rest areas offer plenty of places to take in the scene. Local restaurants also join the celebration, adding flavor to an already dynamic weekend.

After 51 years, the Fountain Festival continues to elevate its standards—introducing new artists each year while carefully limiting entries by category to create the best possible showcase for all participants.

At its core, the Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts is about connection—between artists and audiences, between creativity and community. It’s about what happens when visionaries come together to share their work and their passion in an environment that celebrates both.

Whether you're applying to participate or attending to discover,
this is your invitation to experience a festival that’s as inspiring as the art itself.
