The Cathedral City Public Arts Commission invites artists to apply for the inaugural Cathedral City Festival of the Arts, taking place Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater.
The festival will showcase up to 50 artists, with the first 32 accepted applicants receiving a complimentary 10×10 tent. Additional spaces are available for artists who provide their own tents. The entry fee is $125 per booth with no commission charged on sales.
Applicants must submit 5-10 images of their work. The application deadline is February 27, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PST, though registration will close earlier if 50 artists are accepted.
In addition to art for sale, festival attendees will enjoy children’s activities, food trucks, and free parking. Tastes & Sounds of Cathedral City will sponsor the music portion of the event, featuring Grammy-nominated Yve Evans and friends performing jazz and blues throughout the day. The event is free and open to the public.
Selected artists must provide proof of liability insurance and booth payment by March 13, 2026.
