At ArtSplash, art mingles with lively entertainment, imaginative activities for children and adults, culinary delights and unparalleled shopping...all of this in a gorgeous setting. The annual juried arts festival is held each Labor Day weekend on the manicured grounds of the Mildred E. Anderson Dance Pavilion on the Sioux City riverfront.

ArtSplash is a juried art show, which means that artists must apply to exhibit at the festival and be selected by a panel of experienced artists. During the festival itself, a panel of distinguished judges will evaluate each exhibiting artist’s work and award over $6,000 in cash prizes.

Festival goers also have a say! Vote for your Festival Favorite at this year’s event. The winning artist takes home $300 plus the entry fee for next year’s show.
