HE FOUNTAIN FESTIVAL OF FINE ARTS & CRAFTS

The inaugural Fountain Hills Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts was held in 1974. In those days, getting enough artists for a group show was a big deal. But 60 artists turned out. It was a really good sign. People loved the show in its early days. Every year since 1974, it’s been interesting, motivating and now has become a culturally iconic in Arizona. Every year more and more people are attend and exhibit.

Today, The Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts is one of the largest arts and crafts events in the southwest. Over 200,000 people attend each year! There are hundreds of booths for artist exhibitors. You’ll find exhibiting artists showing original fine works of art in every price range. In every medium. From sculptures to paintings, hand-made clothing, jewelry and crafts. You’ll be amazed at the diversity of art forms. You’ll certainly see pieces that appeal to your taste. Some you might just decide to take home with you. Even the fine art of food with wonderful restaurants and local food is on exhibit and display. For you to buy and eat of course. And what Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts would be complete without artists providing live music? If you need to take a moment to ponder your purchases, there are comfortable shaded seating areas.
