Foothills Arts Festival

The Foothills Art Festival draws approximately 100 artists and over 500 works of art each October.

The 39th Annual Foothills Art Festival will be held in 2021!

The Foothills Art Festival is a long standing tradition held within the foothills of Southeastern Ohio and is made possible by the generosity of arts supporters. A project of the Southern Hills Arts Council, the festival draws approximately 100 artists and over 500 works of art each October.

The festival was held in the main lodge at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp outside Jackson.

The 39th Annual Foothills Art Festival is looking forward to returning in October of 2021 – and will be in a new location at ParksEdge Event Center at 601 E. Main Street in Jackson, OH.

The Foothills Art Festival was originally started in 1981 by Jeanne and Louis Jindra at The Winery on Camba Road. The festival continued at this location, first inside the winery and later in two huge tents on the winery’s grounds, until the winery closed and the event moved to its current Canter’s Cave location. In 1985, Southern Hills Arts Council assumed sponsorship of the festival.
