With its 30th Anniversary on the horizon, Columbia Festival of the Arts is returning to the Columbia Lakefront in June 2017 for a spectacular celebration, including the kick-off of Columbia’s 50th Birthday! Included in this not-to-be-missed free outdoor weekend is our Invitational Fine Arts & Crafts Show, a first-time appearance of The Katena inflatable walk-in sculpture – a multi-sensory experience of light, color, sound and design – along with the live performances from national, regional and local artists on the LakeStage.

Our juried, Invitational Fine Arts & Crafts Show is currently seeking artisans with original work, representing a breadth of media including functional and wearable art to participate in this June 16-18, 2017, free outdoor weekend. DON’T MISS this opportunity to showcase your original artwork. Deadline to submit your entry is Monday, March 6, 2017.
