Hope House Foundation celebrates its 42nd year by hosting the Stockley Gardens Fall Arts Festival, a juried two‑day outdoor event in Stockley Gardens Park, Norfolk, Virginia (October 17‑18, 2026). Artists submit four digital images per medium (drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.) and pay a $40 non‑refundable application fee per medium plus a booth fee ($275 for a 10×10 space, $415 for 10×15, $550 for 10×20). Accepted artists receive a 10×10 (or larger) booth with electricity, the opportunity to sell work, and eligibility for cash awards (Best in Show $3,500, 1st Place $2,000, etc.). The festival does not accept emerging artists, body‑care items, food, clothing, or dealer‑represented work. Selections are based on creativity and technical skill; artists must be the sole creators of the work displayed. The deadline for applications is July 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, with a purchase deadline of August 18, 2026. A free artist reception with live music is held on Saturday evening.
