EDWARDSVILLE - Plans for the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Annual Art Fair are underway and artists from all over the U.S. are being asked to apply. This highly anticipated event will be happening again in downtown Edwardsville the weekend of September 27-29, 2019. Last year, nearly 100 artists from across the nation participated in this exciting and rewarding event.

The Arts Center will give consideration to all artists, whether they are budding artists or seasoned and well-traveled. The Edwardsville community embraces this art event each year and considers it to be a “favorite fall treat” for shopping, mingling and art appreciation. One artist last year was quoted as saying, “It’s the hospitality and the friendliness of the community that is the best part of participating in the Edwardsville Art Fair!”
