Spokane's favorite 3-day juried festival of art and fine craft at the MAC features regional painters, photographers, ceramists, sculptors, woodworkers, and jewelers!
Admission includes everything ArtFest has to offer:
• 75 art and fine craft booths
• an incredible line-up of live, local music daily in the amphitheater
• the Make-it Art Kids’ Project center
• an invitation to enjoy the festival’s beer garden (featuring beers from BrickWest Brewing and a selection of Townshend Cellar wines)
• access to eight local-favorite food trucks
• admission to the museum
• a special "Harold Balazs and Friends" tent featuring works from the famous local artist and from his own private collection, recently donated to the museum by his family. Funds raised will support the MAC’s purchase of the works featured in Harold Balazs: Leaving Marks, which closes on June 2.
The Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture is a non-profit organization. Proceeds from the event support art education, exhibitions, and community programming for youth and adults at the MAC. All art revenue goes directly to the artists. The new $5 cover charge will offset the operating expenses of staging this beloved community event, including the increased cost for security for guests and artists, and booking the best-known bands in our region to draw more people to the festival.
This event is possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: Banner Bank, Rosauers, Moss Adams, Uptic Studios, and American Onsite Services.
