Ohio Arts Council Festival Directory
Festivals are a source of great pride for local communities and provide a venue for public engagement in the arts in Ohio. Competitive exhibitions showcase Ohio’s wealth of artistic talent and encourage artists through exposure and awards. From juried exhibitions and multi-day festivals to arts-and-crafts bazaars and seasonal events, these experiences play a crucial role in enhancing cultural tourism, celebrating our heritage, and supporting Ohio’s economy. The Ohio Arts Council’s Festival Directory is a free resource for the public to engage with the arts and for artists to discover opportunities.
The submission window for the 2019 Festival Directory has closed. A limited number of hard copies of the directory were sent to a select number of locations (listed below) in early January 2019. Those seeking to list additional events are encouraged to submit a free listing on ArtsinOhio.com.
