Big Four Arts Festival

The inaugural Big Four Arts Festival was the most attended (50,000+) two-day Event ever held at Waterfront Park on the Big Four Bridge Lawn which consist of four acres of tree lined walks overlooking the Ohio River, a-mere two-minute drive from downtown Louisville. Better than 2 million people visit Waterfront Park annually and 25,000 stroll the Big Four pedestrian bridge each weekend. Such was the overall success of the Festival that Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau presented the Rose Award to the Festival for creating a NEW event that brought so much commerce to the city of Louisville! The Festival is known by artists for its EZ in-out access, spacious booth layouts, and many artist amenities. With a proven multi-media advertising campaign we will produce record crowds. "Louisville Loves the Arts" We want YOU, the quality artist to join us in 2019! All new jury-selected artists in 2019 will be jury-exempt in 2020.

Here’s what one artist had to say about the Festival: "We do about 14 art shows a year; and I can tell you that this was the BEST one we have done this year. Our sales were awesome. Your advertising paid off, because the crowd was huge. I loved the lay out - the park is beautiful. You did a wonderful job planning this event." - Debbie & John Wiles, GourDesigns, Matoon, IL
