Hosted in Memorial Park Friday through Sunday, March 24-26, 2023, from 10 a.m. 6 p.m., Bayou City Art Festival will showcase the works of 280 artists in 19 different categories. As one of the top outdoor art festivals in the nation, Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park benefits local nonprofits and features something for everyone.
Patrons can take a walk through the park and personally meet the artists, view original works, and purchase one-of-a-kind art, prints, jewelry, sculptures, functional art, and more at all price levels. This year's featured artist is Dewey James, a mixed media artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota that provides a whimsical outlook combining colorful images of nature, cityscapes, and amusements.
The crowd at Houston's largest and oldest art festival will enjoy two entertainment stages, numerous food trucks, a craft beer and wine garden, a VIP Hospitality Lounge, and entertainment throughout Memorial Park.
In the Active Imagination Zone, Bayou City Art Festival's nonprofit partners will host art activities for all ages and include an interactive area for all attendees to enjoy.
