Cottonwood Art Festival
Cottonwood Park, Richardson, TX

12:00 am - 7:00 pm
From its humble beginnings in 1969, the Cottonwood Art Festival has developed into one of the most prestigious fine art festivals in the United States. Local artists staged their first festival at the scenic Cottonwood Park in Richardson, Texas. It was all tie-dye, bell-bottoms and braids back then where the artists laid down blankets and set up easels with the hopes of selling a few pieces of art. Since that first weekend nearly five decades later, Cottonwood has established itself as signature art event, become a tradition in the community and the home to the finest artists in the country for the first weekend of May and October.

Feria Maestros del Arte
Lake Chapala, Mexico
Ramón Corona 1, La Cristianía , Chapala, Jal 45900 MAP
All Day
In celebration of the Feria Maestros del Arte featuring the state of Oaxaca, Greg Davis, who’s photographic work has been published by National Geographic, will treat us to a presentation of this latest project “Oaxaca Gold“, a collection of his five years of work in Oaxaca. Friday, November 102:30 to 3:30.
Mexico’s folk-art traditions are disappearing at an alarming rate. Artisans need opportunities to sell their work — the Feria offers them a venue at absolutely no cost — no booth fee, no percentage of sales, we pay their transportation to and from the event and find them host families where they sleep and eat for the three days of the show.
For some artisans, the sales they make at the Feria represent a major portion of their annual income.
The selection criteria for artisans is based on the merit and quality of their work, as well as their ability to continue to produce it.
Traditional folk art reflects shared cultural aesthetics and traditions, however, for the purposes of the Feria, traditions are dynamic and traditional folk art can be both reactive to, and innovative for the times.
