UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

In 2026, Route 66 - the Route to the American West - will celebrate its One Hundredth anniversary. We think of the American West as rugged, independent, adventurous, mysterious and for many artists it has been a place of rebirth or renewal, rooting themselves into the history of the land. Many female American artists found the West to be a more liberating location for their work, including painters Georgia O'Keefe, Agnes Martin and writer Willa Cather. Artists are invited to submit artwork that celebrates the spirit of adventure, renewal, and grit that typifies the landscape and the people of Route 66… as you drive Route 66 out of Missouri, the immortal voice of Nat King Cole sings "now you go through Saint Louis..." Artists are encouraged to submit original 2D & 3D work in any medium. No video.

The Webster Arts Fair is held the first full weekend each June. This fine arts fair is loved by artists and patrons alike for its commitment to high-quality art in a warm and friendly environment. The Fair is set on the grounds of Eden Theological Seminary in the heart of historic Webster Groves, Missouri (63119), just 10 minutes west of downtown St. Louis. Webster Groves is a charming, upscale community nestled among beautiful parks, public art installations, bistros, and boutiques. Supported by Webster Arts, a nonprofit organization, the Webster Arts Fair features top-quality original art from national and regional artists, on-site food from favorite local restaurants, non-stop live music performances, and creative activities that draw up to 15,000 visitors and buyers from around the region each year. The Webster Arts Fair prides itself on the hospitality shown to its artists and treating crowds to delicious food, top-notch music performances, and unique, creative activities for the whole family.
