Art in the Square at a glance!
Founded in April 2000 by the Southlake Women’s Club, Art in the Square will celebrate its 24th event this year. Methodist Southlake Medical Center is our 2024 presenting sponsor. Art in the Square is nationally ranked as the #4 juried art festival in the U.S. and has consistently been ranked in the top ten for over 12 years. Nearly 700 local, national, and internationally renowned artists applied for the approximately 160 available spots.
Sponsors will be highlighted on digital billboards, social media, websites, and digital and print ads to recognize their support. The application process is underway to select the beneficiaries for the 2024 festival, and they generously support women, children, and families in Northeast Tarrant County.
Held in Southlake Town Square, this festival has a friendly, family-oriented appeal and attracts tens of thousands from Southlake and surrounding areas. The event creates a perfect venue for visitors to interact with nearly 200 artists, which include juried professional, emerging, and aspiring high school artists, alongside a genre of musical talent on two stages, children’s activities, food, and a time for family fun.
As the organizers plan for the 2024 Art in the Square, they take pride in their accomplishments:
· Over the past 23 years, given over 3.3M in net proceeds to 76 different charities.
· A juried professional fine arts festival showcasing international, national, local and high school artists.
