Carmel International Arts Festival
Welcome to the Sixteenth Annual Carmel International Arts Festival.
On Saturday September 28, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday September 29, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM we will celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Carmel International Arts Festival. We have grown considerably from that first year around Carmel City Square. There will be over 125 juried artists exhibiting in watercolor, oil, 2D, jewelry, photography, 3D, wood, sculpture, pottery and more! We are now in our sixteenth year of holding the festival in the Arts and Design District. Best of all it is FREE!
Motor Vehicle Parking:
We will have a shuttle system to and from Carmel High School during festival hours. Handicap parking is available at the PNC Bank Parking lot.
Additional parking is available at the Indiana Design Center on Rangeline Road that includes underground parking.
Admission is free as always and last year we had a record breaking crowd over two days of 30,000. Both days we have booked wonderful entertainment. Along with the tempting food vendors, festival goers can sample the Arts and Design District’s outstanding restaurants and visit all the local shops. This year for children we have Young at Art stations throughout the festival. Again this year we have the very popular exhibit the Young Artist Tent, featuring the exceptional talent of our high school art students in Carmel.
If you have never been to the Carmel International Arts Festival, now is the time to come visit. This is a festival renowned for diverse artistic styles! Truly an unforgettable experience for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you this year!
