HISTORY

The St. George Art Festival began in 1980 at Ancestor Square. It showcased the many artists who called
St. George their home.

Since then it has expanded to include over 110 artists juried from hundreds of entries from throughout the
United States. Festival goers enjoy thousands of original works of art, live entertainment on two stages,
a vibrant children's area, and foods of all kinds. Over 30,000 residents and visitors from around the West
converge in the beautiful town of St. George on Easter weekend. The Art Festival is known for consistently
outstanding artwork, and treating artists as special guests.

In 2009, the Art Festival was moved onto the St. George Town Square from on Main Street itself.

The St. George Art Festival is produced by the City of St. George Leisure Services Department and attendance
is free.
