Worthington Arts Festival
About This Opportunity
The Worthington Arts Festival is one of Central Ohio’s premier fine‑art festivals, returning to the Worthington Village Green for its 33rd edition on June 19‑20, 2027. The festival welcomes over 120 artists and attracts nearly 30,000 visitors each year. Artists may apply in any fine‑art or fine‑craft medium, but emerging artists are not accepted. The application deadline is February 1, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. EST, with a non‑refundable jury/application fee of $50. Accepted artists receive a 10 ft × 10 ft or 10 ft × 20 ft booth (fees $330 or $430 respectively) and are responsible for their own tents, load‑in, and insurance. The festival provides free parking, dollies, hand trucks, and wagons, and requires a certificate of insurance naming the McConnell Arts Center as additional insured. Awards include Best in Show ($1,000), 2nd Place Merit ($500), 3rd Place Merit ($250), and Honorable Mention. All artists must be present for the full two‑day event, and the festival reserves the right to remove exhibitors who fail to meet the rules.
