The Austin ArtWorks Festival is a free two-day event in Austin, Minnesota.

Organized by the Austin Area Commission for the Arts (a local 501(c)3 nonprofit), the ArtWorks Festival is designed to offer a broad selection of experiences in the arts–visual, performing, literary, culinary, and more–in one celebratory weekend. We also strive to make our festival interactive by including family activities and demonstrations (e.g. glassblowing, wheel throwing, and metalwork). The festival is a staple of summer entertainment in the area, receiving rave reviews by local publications and visitors.

The 2018 ArtWorks Festival will occur in the heart of downtown Austin on August 25 & 26. Our galleries will be open from 9am-5pm on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday.
