Art Affaire 2026

Art Affaire is a juried fine art and fine craft show held on Main Street in historic downtown Milford, Ohio. We welcome original work by artists. We have over 130 artists as well as musicians to entertain patrons. This is the 20th year for our event which is the major fundraiser for the Greater Milford Historical Society and the preservation of Promont Museum. 

We accept original work by artists in the following categories: ceramic/clay, digital, pastel/colored pencil, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed, all types of paint, photography, paper, sculpture, wearable art, wood, and any other medium that fits in the fine art, fine craft category. 
If you create art in multiple mediums, please note that a separate application and jury fee must be submitted for each medium. 
At Art Affaire, to simplify judging, we ask that you exhibit primarily in the medium you are accepted in. Note that displaying distinctly different art types may affect a judge's review of your booth during the awards process. Selling items outside of the juried category may disqualify an artist from the awards process and future Art Affaire participation.

*Applications will be reviewed as long as space or category balancing allow. 
**All applications require a non-refundable $35 jury(application)fee
