Sunday, September 13,

from 11 am- 5 pm

Fenton, 21 Fenton Main St, Cary

The Fenton Art Festival is a unique event in a unique place. Fenton is Cary's Premier shopping destination, drawing 1 million visitors annually from across the region to shop at exclusive luxury retailers and drink and dine at their fine dining establishments. Its central location, near I-40, means attendees can travel from across the region to attend.

These affluent shoppers will come to buy amazing art and to participate in hands-on art-making activities for themselves and their families. This is not a pop-up or craft show. All artists will be juried to enter. The two monetary awards for Best-In-Show and People's Choice will draw the best quality artists.

The interactive art experiences are key to the event's success. They offer people a chance to participate in artmaking and take a piece of the event home with them. It connects them with art, Fenton, and YOUR Brand!

Artists' tents will line the Main Street of Fenton for a one-day art show of the best the region has to offer. Drop-in art classes will take place throughout the day.  Families are welcome too! The Kids Backyard Art Party will have a variety of arts-based activities specifically geared to kids. Pop-up demonstrations will take place throughout the day.
