Approximately 200 fine artists are expected to showcase their works from many mediums including clay pottery, digital art, drawings, fiber and glassworks, jewelry, leather tooling and metalworks as well as painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and wood carvings and constructions.
As part of the fun, The Woodlands Art League and The Woodlands Children Museum will plan a range of children’s events hosted in the "Artopoly" tent in Town Green Park. They come up with some pretty interactive and entertaining activities for the kids.
A new addition to the Art Festival this year will be the new activities planned for Waterway Square. There will be a free, ungated area of the festival open from 2:00 - 8:30 PM on Saturday and 2:00 - 6:00 on Sunday. Sidewalk chalk artists will be drawing live on the square and children can join along in their own children's chalk area. Hubbell and Hudson will have a food booth on site to grab a quick meal. Enjoy all of this while listening to some great music on the live entertainment stage!
The festival hours are from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday and Sunday. It is daylight throughout festival hours. Admission for adults is $10.00 per person, and admission for children under twelve is free. Ample parking will be available, therefore those attending the Festival are prohibited from parking in the Market Street (HEB) parking lot. Additionally, The Arts Festival asks that you do not bring pets to the event. For more information, visit The Woodlands Art Festival Website.

The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival |
An annual two-day outdoor celebration of the visual and performing arts with an average attendance of 15,000. Recognized among the best outdoor juried visual arts events in Texas, the Arts Festival also offers a variety of art activities for children and adults, live cultural performances, and tantalizing culinary offerings.
More than 200 fine artists from across the nation and other countries are showcased in this juried fine art event. Their works of art are available for purchase throughout the Festival area.
The 2009 Waterway Arts Festival included a Floating Art Parade with the theme "Outer Space." Participants were asked to design and create a float reflecting this theme. The best entry received The Waterway Cup, a unique piece of art designed by one of the festival artists. Festival jurors voted for the best entry. |
