Call Description

Art Springs is hosted by The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance and is part of an annual 10-day arts festival known as Arts & The Park. Arts & The Park fills the organization's mission to Celebrate, Advocate, and Promote the Arts and Culture of Hot Springs and the surrounding areas.

Art Springs is free to the community and its many visitors. With spring in bloom and warmer weather, Art Springs can easily see thousands of attendees over the two days. Artists and Fine Crafters set-up booth spaces to sell and demonstrate. You will see amazing artists, fine crafts, metalworking, fiber arts, jewelry and much more. 

The two-day festival is packed full of all things arts! In addition to the arts/crafters village there is a stage with live music, poetry, and theater. A kids' creation station is set to give kids and families a hands-on experience with the arts. Community art projects like a sidewalk chalk competition and a steamroller art exhibition are all part of the fun. Food trucks and drinks are also available throughout the festival.
