While COVID-19 continues to be a threat, and with the uncertainty surrounding recovery forecasting, we cannot responsibly host an in-person festival. Bayou City Art Festival Downtown will be converted into an exciting Virtual Experience.

We will kick-off the Bayou City Art Virtual Experience on October 5-11, 2020 with an online art auction, virtual performances, art projects for kids of all ages with our nonprofit partners, creative activities with our sponsors and more. From the safety of your home, you can purchase art from your favorite artists or discover new artists to follow. 

For almost five decades, Bayou City Art Festival has helped thousands of Houstonians create fond memories. In order for us to continue our mission for another 50 years, we are launching Save Our Art - One Passion. One Purpose. One Community – a fundraising campaign in partnership with the City of Houston to support the arts and our local nonprofit partners. Individuals and corporations can ensure the Bayou City Art Festival’s return to Memorial Park and Downtown Houston and it’s programming in the community by committing to donate and by participating in the many upcoming fundraising events. To donate click here or text “SaveOurArt” to 243725. Stay tuned for updates!
