Vicksburg, Mississippi
Historic Highway 61 (Blues Highway) 
Friday 5pm-9pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, & Sunday 11am-5pm
100 Artists
Deadline: June 30, 2025

Application fee: $30/Booth fee $350

Artists will showcase their work on the historic Blues Highway (Hwy. 61) in downtown Vicksburg, MS. The downtown’s beautiful brick streets are also brimming with clothing boutiques, specialty shops, and antique stores. 

Vicksburg, Mississippi is the quintessential river city, serving as the region’s center of commerce and culture for nearly 200 years. With a commanding view of the Mississippi River, Vicksburg is The Key to the South, a place where art, history and culture are on full display in several museums, art galleries, and more than 1,000 historic monuments.

The downtown’s beautiful brick streets are also brimming with clothing boutiques, specialty shops, and antique stores. Fine flavors of the South, both old and new, can be found at several eateries throughout the city. In addition, live music aficionados can sample Mississippi Delta Blues, country, jazz, or rock ‘n roll at multiple venues, and those who want to try their luck can check out gaming, entertainment, and dining at one of Vicksburg’s four waterfront casinos.

Into this setting of Vicksburg as a shopping, dining, and vibrant hub for the arts will be the Vicksburg Hipstoric Art Festival, the new signature event for the city. The show will present artists and their work against the splendid setting of the vibrant, hip, and historic downtown area, during glorious fall weather and the dryest time of the year in Mississippi.

The timing of the Vicksburg Hipstoric Art Festival works well for routing with some of the fall shows in the South including the Cottonwood Art Festival near Dallas, Bayou City Art Festival in Houston, and RiverArtsFest in Memphis.

The art fair will represent modern and traditional artists. Artists from across the United States will be selected to showcase their fine artworks in various mediums, including ceramics, wood, textiles, glass, drawing, painting, mixed media, jewelry, photography, metal/iron, and sculpture.

In addition to showcasing the Art Fair across our stunning outdoor grounds, we’re excited to expand this year’s experience with an indoor venue in our elegant Great Hall.

Furthermore, this year’s event will feature a teen art component, highlighting emerging young talent and giving the next generation of artists a platform to shine.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art offers a unique blend of art, architecture, and nature. The museum is nestled in a 120-acre Ozark forested ravine, featuring a series of pavilions designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie. These structures are connected by glass bridges spanning two spring-fed ponds, creating a harmonious integration of the built environment with the natural landscape.
