Thank You, Edom! 🎨
The 2026 Edom Art Festival was one for the books, and every bit of it belongs to you.
Visitors strolled through the meadow, and the air was full of music, clay dust, sawdust, and good company. None of it happens without the people who show up. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
To Our Volunteers 💛
You set up before sunrise, parked cars, poured water, guided lost visitors, ran the kids' art area, and stayed late to clean up with a smile. You are the heartbeat of this festival. We can't thank you enough for your time, your energy, and your kindness.
To Our Artists 🖌️
Potters, painters, jewelers, glassmakers, fiber artists, woodworkers, metalworkers, and photographers: you filled the meadow with color and wonder. Thank you for sharing your gifts, your stories, and your live demonstrations. You make Edom the arts destination of East Texas.
To Our Sponsors 🌟
Thank you to the local families, businesses, banks, and media partners who believe in this community. Your generosity keeps the festival free to dream big, and keeps art close to home for everyone.
To Our Musicians 🎶
You gave the festival its soundtrack. Thank you for the toe-tapping tunes that drifted through the trees and for bringing the Wine Garden and the whole meadow to life.
To Our Food Vendors & Black Tent Partners 🍴
Thank you for feeding thousands of happy, hungry visitors with delicious food, sweet treats.
To Every Visitor and Participant 🧡
Whether you came for the art, the music, the food, or the fun (dogs and kids included!), thank you for being here. Your smiles, your questions, and your support of our artists mean everything.
See You Next Year!
The Edom Art Festival has been bringing art to life since 1972, and we're already dreaming about what's next. Keep an eye on this site and our social channels for 2027 dates, artist applications, and volunteer sign-ups.
With gratitude, Visit Edom & the Edom Art Festival Team







The Edom Art Festival began in 1972, after the first artist Doug Brown moved into town and started the artists’ mecca. By inviting fellow artists to participate, it has been well attended all of these years as an invitational and now a juried festival, known for having only high quality, original art and craft. Today the festival is sponsored by the Edom Craft Community, and is produced by the artists in town, making it truly unique. Our resident artists are busy creating for months to prepare for the weekend, when our population of 350 swells to thousands.
