“I’ve had the privilege of participating in the Bayou City Art Festivals since 2019, and it has quickly become one of my favorite art festivals in the nation. Consistently one of my top-selling shows, it's clear that the entire team goes above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for both artists and attendees. The enthusiasm and appreciation from festival-goers is always inspiring, and each year the event seems to get even better. I look forward to being part of the Bayou City Art Festivals for many years to come!”
