The 47th Annual Lubbock Arts Festival, taking place on April 12-13, 2025, is West Texas's premier fine art and craft show. This celebrated event, held in the vibrant Lubbock Cultural District, attracts a diverse audience of over 8,000 attendees, including art collectors and enthusiasts. The Festival has received prestigious awards for its excellence and offers artists a prime opportunity to showcase and sell their work in a supportive and engaging environment. 


Show venue is completely indoors (Lubbock Memorial Civic Center) with air conditioning. We will let you pull up and unload right at the back door of the Civic Center. We also offer reserved free parking and onsite storage (first come, first serve basis). 


ART IS A WAY OF LIFE IN LUBBOCK. Our city has a population of 265,000 and serves as the regional education and medical 'hub' for West Texas. In fact, we have three major universities in Lubbock, the largest of which, Texas Tech University, has undergraduate/graduate programs, a law school, AND a medical school.


And according to the Arts & Economic Prosperity® 5 study (a project of American For the Arts), Lubbock event-related spending by Arts and Cultural Audiences totaled $34.03 million (excluding the cost of admission.)


YOU CAN “TOUR TEXAS.” Start your journey at the Lubbock Arts Festival, scheduled the weekend before several major art shows in South Texas, including the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival.


ARTISTS LIKE US. We actively recruit buyers, with a dedicated marketing campagin. We provide our artists with a private hospitality room; event security that stays overnight; discounted rates at our host hotel; and $50,000+ worth of advertising. Most of all, and most importantly, we are just really lovely people who want you to be successful!
