Why Artists Choose Red Autumn

The Red Autumn Art Festival is becoming one of the most exciting art events in the region. It’s a true celebration of creativity designed for artists whose work deserves to be seen, appreciated, and remembered.

On November 6th and November 7th, 2026, the Wyndham Hotel in downtown Fort Smith will welcome a remarkable gathering of artists for two days of conversation, connection, and opportunity. From painters, sculptors, and photographers to mixed media artists and other visual creatives, Red Autumn is building a dynamic and elevated experience that honors both artistic excellence and authentic community.

This is more than a place to exhibit your work. It is a place to stand among fellow artists, engage with art lovers and collectors, and become part of a festival that is growing in reputation, reach, and cultural impact. Red Autumn is intentionally creating an atmosphere that feels polished and professional while remaining welcoming, personal, and deeply supportive of the artists at its center.

Artists who participate in Red Autumn are not simply filling space at an event; they are helping shape the identity of a festival on the rise. For emerging artists, it is a chance to gain meaningful exposure in a beautiful and energized setting. For established artists, it is an opportunity to be part of a distinctive festival experience that values quality, creativity, and connection.

If you are looking for an event that celebrates serious visual art while still feeling warm, engaging, and full of heart, Red Autumn is where you belong.

Join us for Red Autumn 2026 and let your work be part of something extraordinary.
