The 10th Downtown Hyattsville Arts Festival is operated by the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation (CDC). "Arts & Ales" spans 3 city streets, will welcome an anticipated 5,000 visitors, and features over 100 artists and artisans in 5 media categories, alongside a music stage, food vendors, sponsors, community groups, and now for the second year, 20+ craft brewers. Festival promotion includes more than $10,000 of investments for advertising and marketing in print and online, direct mail, guerilla poster campaigning, email marketing and public relations.

Our goal is to exhibit a range of high-quality, multi-dimensional, visual works from across our region. We feature local Gateway Arts District artists and Hyattsville Community Arts Alliance artists, but welcome submissions from all Applicants. Acceptance to the festival will be based on the jury's assessment of quality of work, appropriateness for the audience, and variety of media.Our festival exhibitor participation is juried. This year, we are pleased to announce that returning festival exhibitors (from 2010-2016) will not be juried anew, and will instead be automatically accepted into the festival with their on-time application. We appreciate how past exhibitors have helped the Hyattsville Arts Festival to grow and thrive, and this new procedure will acknowledge, honor, and bolster those partnerships.

Our festival remains committed to our local artists. In order to better steward our investments in resources and staffing of the festival, where in previous years the CDC provided complimentary booths for participants, we are now offering a limited number of tents and tent weights for rental. Tents and tent weights will be available on a priority and then first-come, first-serve basis. Priority refers to exhibitors who are senior citizens or have a disability.

Our tent rental setup incurs a $50 rental fee. A table, tablecloth and 2 chairs will be made available only to exhibitors who are renting tents, at a $30 surcharge.

The base cost to participate in the festival is $100. We want to thank our exhibitors for understanding this update, and the anticipated improvements it promises to our shared festival experience.

Criteria:There are multiple ways for members of the community to participate. This form is for exhibitors (artists and artisans) only. Only original artwork, photography, handmade jewelry, handmade crafts, and creative literary arts are allowed. No commercial/corporate merchandise will be accepted, unless it is incredibly unique and environmentally friendly in nature. If you are interested in participating but don't fit these criteria, please use our non-artist vendor interest form or contact us to discuss sponsorship opportunities, advertising, or activity partnerships, and we will happily discuss them with you.
