The auction features 37 pieces of art from 11 artists, including a Young At Art participant, and runs until 4:00 PM on Sunday, September 5 - which would have marked the closing of the 2021 Festival.

The Kawartha Arts Festival is expanding! We invite new and returning artists to submit an application to be part of this year’s event. Established in 1989, we are one of the largest juried Art Shows in Southern Ontario, with free admission, free parking and a free shuttle service between the Fenelon Fairgrounds and downtown Fenelon Falls. Featuring artist demonstrations, live music and a food concession, it attracts thousands of visitors each year, and is a great opportunity for artists to showcase their talents in a wonderful outdoor setting.
