In abundance!

We have a number of restaurants downtown that are within easy walking distance, and we will also have food trucks on site. 

The Red Autumn Art Festival is an artist-focused event dedicated to showcasing original fine art. Accepted categories include: Painting (oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, etc.), Graphite, Charcoal, Ink, Photography, Printmaking, Mixed Media, Textile/Fiber Art, Glass Art, Ceramics, Pottery/Sculpture, Metalwork, and Jewelry. Categories not listed will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Every artist is selected for the quality, originality, and creative integrity of their work.

While our priority is supporting artists, limited vendor space is available to non-artists who participate as official event sponsors or represent nonprofit organizations whose missions align with the values of the festival.

Vendors whose offerings do not fall into the specified categories or align with these guidelines will be asked to leave the event, and refunds will not be issued.
