Texas Arts and Crafts Educational Foundation

Are you excited about spending Memorial Day Weekend at the Texas State Arts & Crafts Fair?  We have plenty of exciting changes ahead.

• Daily Fair admission is just $5 and kids under 12 are $1!
• We’ve replaced the Wine & Beer Tasting with a fantastic evening:  the Fair will open on Friday May 25th at 6:00 pm and you’ll have the opportunity to shop, eat, drink at the bar, and listen to some great live music from the Melissa Ludwig Band and Emory Quinn!
• The Fair dates are Friday May 25 from 6-10, Saturday May 26 from 9-6, and Sunday May 27 from 9-6.
• Tickets are available at the gate.
• Have you been looking for amazing demonstrations?  We’ve got you covered!  Demonstrations will be scattered throughout the park–you’ll even be able to get your own hands dirty in some cases!
• 125 of Texas’ finest artists in a variety of categories will be spread through the River Star Arts & Event Park.  Start at the East entrance or the West; it doesn’t matter!  You’ll find incredible work on all ends and shuttles will be available to help you move around the 7 acres.
• The Young Texas Artist K-12 Art Competition pieces will be on prominent display at the East entrance.  Support Texas’ K-12 students and spend some time browsing their efforts.
• The Emerging Texas Artist Scholarship Program, for Texas college students, will have its own tent.  James Avery has generously underwritten this scholarship program and given hundreds of Texas college students the opportunity to pursue their artistic endeavors.  You’ll be certain to find some amazing, creative pieces in this tent!
• As always, parking is free at the Hill Country Youth Exhibit Center or Flat Rock Park.  The Boy Scouts are on hand to direct you to parking and tips are definitely appreciated!

The advertising brochure has been posted here and the artist list will be updated shortly.
