About this event
The Bella Vista Arts & Crafts Festival is a premier juried arts and crafts event held annually in early October across the Wishing Spring Gallery grounds. The festival features approximately 225 artisans from across the region selling handmade items including pottery, jewelry, fine art, and handcrafted goods. All vendors must apply for consideration and their work is reviewed for quality and originality. The event takes place during the peak fall season when the Ozark region displays brilliant foliage, attracting regional and visiting shoppers seeking unique, handmade goods. The festival is organized by the Artisan Alliance at Wishing Spring, a nonprofit organization that directs festival proceeds to art scholarships, school art programs, and community art initiatives.
