About our Juried Artist Market

The RiverArtsFest Artist Market is dedicated to providing a vibrant marketplace for original handcrafted works of fine art produced by local, regional, and nationally recognized artisans. In 2019, we received more than 450 applications from artisans across the nation and here in Memphis. 

Each work is an original piece of art.

Works on display in the market range from the traditional to the contemporary, and include:

  • paintings in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, and mixed media;

  • drawings;

  • photographs;

  • woodcuts,

  • intaglio, and other print techniques;

  • collage;

  • weaving and other fabric works;

  • ceramics;

  • basketry;

  • woodworking;

  • jewelry;

  • glass sculptures; and works in beveled glass

  • among other disciplines

During the festival, awards are given for best in category and show. Check out our past Winners.
