Carmel International Arts Festival 2010
Welcome to the Thirteenth Annual Carmel International Arts Festival.
On Saturday September 25, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday September 26, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM we will be celebrating the 13th anniversary of the Carmel International Arts Festival. We have grown considerably from that first year around Carmel City Square. There will be 155 juried artists exhibiting in watercolor, oil, 2D, jewelry, photography, 3D, wood, sculpture, pottery and more. We are now in our third year of holding the festival in the Arts and Design District. It has been a very popular move.
ATTENTION! Call to Artists form is now available!

Once again we will have Pedal & Park! ::: Check out their website here: PEDAL&PARK
Motor Vehicle Parking:
We will have a shuttle system to and from Carmel High School during festival hours.
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. And of course we have the children’s area where every year new art masterpieces can be created. A very popular exhibit is 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 here!
