Juried art on Main Street
The artists bring fine art and fine craft into a compact downtown route. The organizer’s 2026 artist list includes ceramics, painting, wood, jewelry, leather, photography and printmaking, among other media. Rather than racing from end to end, give each section time; the pleasure of a street fair is being able to discover a new maker and ask about the choices behind a work.
If you are collecting, bring a photo and measurements of the place where a piece might live. If you are browsing with children, invite them to notice how two artists use the same material differently. Artist cards and booth numbers can help you find your way back after a first pass.
Art making and arrival
Local partners run hands-on art activities alongside the booths, with entertainment and nearby restaurants adding to the day. The Guild suggests the parking structures at Ann and Ashley or Fourth Avenue and Washington. Downtown parking terms can change, so check the fair map and the parking operator before leaving.
Before you go
Sunday ends at 4 p.m., two hours earlier than Saturday. For the current artist list, activity schedule and map, use the Guild’s official page. Explore other weekend options in the Art Show Magazine Weekend Finder.
