Brief History:

Cherrywood Art Fair is an art filled two-day event showcasing local artists, live music, kids activities and great food in a free, family-friendly environment. More than 8,000 visitors stroll through the fairgrounds looking at art, listening to beautiful music and sampling some of Austin's finest food trailer cuisine. Since its 2002 inception, the Fair has served as a destination for discerning holiday shoppers seeking unique and artful items from Texas artists and makers.

Proceeds benefit the Little Artist BIG ARTIST arts mentoring program that pairs East Austin elementary school students with professional artists. Cherrywood Art Fair and Little Artist BIG ARTIST programs are produced by Chula League.

Cherrywood Art Fair has its roots in a group of passionate art lovers who wanted to give Central Texas Artists a venue for sharing their original art with appreciative customers during the holiday season. At its conception, a small group of artists and musicians attracted a crowd, and a twelve-year tradition was born.
