Cottonwood Art Festival May 2, 2009

For the past 40 years, Cottonwood Art Festival has been a popular Texas attraction and one of our nation's premier fine art festivals. It draws over 240 local, regional, and national artists, and this year’s Featured Artist is Bruce Holwerda.

Cottonwood isn't just about the art, though. The festival also features local bands performing the best in rock, country, jazz, blues, swing and folk. Be sure to check out the courtyard, where you can sit in the shade by the lake and relax while you enjoy the music. Food and spirits are also available in the courtyard.

ArtStop is the children’s area at Cottonwood and features arts & crafts and activities for kids of all ages. Whether it’s creating a sculpture hat from scrap, designing a masterpiece in plaster, adding to our enormous collage or practicing sculpting clay, it’s a one-of-a-kind hands on experience that’s sure to bring out their creative talents!

Whether you're shopping for art, listening to music, enjoying the outdoors, or making art of your own, Cottonwood has something for you.
