Festivals of Cedarburg originally started as the Wine and Harvest Festival in 1973. Throughout the Festivals of Cedarburg history Washington Avenue has been referred to as "Arts on the Avenue" and we continue to feature fine artists today.  

​

Festivals of Cedarburg thanks you for your interest in applying as an artist for our festivals. We define 'Artists' work as high quality handmade works such as paintings, sculpture, drawings, photography, woodwork, pottery, jewelry, and other fine arts. Festivals of Cedarburg has three Arts non-profits that you can choose to apply with and will have your booth in front of. All artists will go through a juried process with your chosen respective non-profit. 

​

ARTIST ELIGIBILITY: The festival is open to all artists 18 and over who exhibit handmade work of original concept, design, execution, and consistent with photos submitted for jurying. Photos of your work must be included in the application. No food or drink may be sold by exhibitors.

​

“Buy/sell” items are strictly prohibited from all or part of an artist’s booth. Buy/Sell is any art or object that is purchased from a manufacturer or maker other than the artist and sold at a festival as “original” work. No reproductions, kits, unfinished wood cut-outs, or AI/similar technology work.
