There is an art to having fun at Cottonwood! Join this fall’s show on October 6 & 7 in Richardson, TX at Cottonwood Park! This FREE semi-annual event features works from the nation’s top visual artists and has been a part of Richardson life for almost fifty years.
Now in its 49th year, Cottonwood Art Festival is a juried show. Jurors have selected over 240 artists from 800 submissions to exhibit their museum-quality work at the festival. The artists compete in 14 categories: 2D Mixed Media, 3D Mixed Media, Ceramics, Digital, Drawings/Pastels, Fiber, Glass, Jewelry, Leather, Metalwork, Painting, Photography, Sculpture and Wood. Rated as one of the top art festivals in the United States, this prestigious show is the premier fine art event in North Texas. The featured artist for this fall is Amanda Bennett.
Cottonwood isn’t just about visual art. The festival also features music with local bands who perform the best in rock, country, jazz, blues, swing and folk. Be sure to check out the Lakeside Courtyard, where you can sit in the shade by the lake and relax while you enjoy your food and spirits.
