The Omaha Summer Arts Festival is the largest arts festival in Nebraska, attracting more than 80,000 patrons from throughout the region. The Festival has consistently been recognized locally and nationally as a top festival: voted #1 festival in “2017 Omaha’s Choice” poll by the Omaha World Herald, Best of Omaha’s top three festivals and top 100 art fairs by industry publication ArtFairSourceBook.com.

This popular show features 135-juried artists from across the country selling their fine art and contemporary crafts in 14 media categories. An experienced staff of dedicated, event professionals produces the Omaha Summer Arts Festival. Members of the Festival’s Board of Directors visit each artist individually providing an opportunity for one-on-one feedback and evaluation. We care about the artists, listen to their input and react to their concerns.

An exceptional show layout allows every artist to pull his or her vehicle in front of their booth for easy set-up and teardown. Each artist is provided an 11’ x 10’ space with an additional 11’ x 2’ storage area at the back.

Omaha Summer Arts Festival is an all-original show and artist presence is required.
