Art on the Porches 2025

General Information

Art on the Porches is an art show, sale, and joyful celebration of the historic Strathmore Neighborhood. Artists will be displaying and selling their work from the spacious porches and lawns of the beautiful historic homes along Ruskin Avenue. In addition to artists, we bring local musicians and food trucks to Ruskin Ave., as well as pop-up art installations and art workshops to create a fun-filled day for all ages!

Entries

Entries are accepted from artists of any media, but all art must be original. Artists must submit with their application 3 examples of their artwork. Digital images must be representative of the work the artist plans to show and sell. Email submissions should be labeled with the artist’s name and media.

The Art on the Porches Organizing Committee reserves the right to reject applications for work that does not appear to be hand made by the artist, or art that does not align with the mission of creating an enjoyable and safe atmosphere for all.

Work that has been produced from commercial kits, patterns, plans, prefabricated forms, or other commercial means is not permitted. All work displayed must be consistent with the images submitted at the time. Participation in any previous Art on the Porches Festival does not guarantee acceptance into the 2025 Festival.
