Gold Canyon Arts Festival 2027

The 26th Annual Gold Canyon Arts Festival is a one-day event which will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2027 on the grounds of the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church 6640 S. Kings Ranch Rd. in Gold Canyon, Arizona 85118.  Many artists and participants say this is the 'best one day' show they've experienced.  The venue offers good parking and drive-by visibility. Typically 80-85 artists are jury selected to show their work.  Our attendance is over 4,000 during Festival hours of 9:00 am - 3:00 pm.  Reserved artist spaces are 10ft x 10ft (tents are recommended but not required).  The application fee is $30 and, if selected, the Festival fee is an additional $150 plus a contribution of a piece of your art to support the Gold Canyon Arts Council’s School Arts Education programs.
