This year, we feature a wide variety of art media, all by respected regional artists. Here you can buy from some of the finest artists who may well be your neighbor. The number of talented people in the Hill Country is truly astounding. More about the artists...

The old Paleface Ranch stables are situated in an oak grove, on the south side of State Highway 71, just a few yards west of the blinking light opposite Paleface Ranch Road. Map

There is ample free parking adjacent to the show grounds. At the entry gate area, you will learn about the Spicewood Arts Society, its performances and its support of the arts in the local schools. The artists display their work in 14 stables and in their own tents arranged in a U configuration so that you can easily see all the artists' booths. The old oak trees provide shade and encourage people to linger and enjoy the ambience of a Hill Country landmark.

Admission is free, but we encourage your donations which support activities of the Spicewood Arts Society. In particular, we apply much of the money raised at the festival to supporting the arts in the local schools. For the past two years we have donated money to help defray the costs of a publication by the Spicewood Elementary School, called Expressions. This magazine format book includes art work, prose, and poetry from every child in the school. The magazine is sold by the school to help raise funds for their art program. We also arrange and pay for performers to entertain the students at least once each year when they are performing for as part of our regular performance season.

We are featuring three pieces of art available by raffle. These pieces were selected by an independent jury after artists were selected for the Arts Round-Up in three categories: 2-dimensional art, 3-dimensional art and wearable art. The winners were Patricia Day for her Hopi Coat, Richard Hess for his raku horse and Elizabeth Sullivan for her watercolor painting "Wild Spirits". These are beautiful works of art and some happy people will take them home for almost nothing!

Richard Hess' horse is about 18" tall

Elizabeth Sulilvan's "Wild Spirits" is a 30" x 22" watercolor and is framed and ready to hang

Raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $25. Although you do not need to be present at the time of the drawing, you will need to attend the art festival to place your raffle tickets in the appropriate containers (one container for each piece). You can apply your tickets to all the works or place them all on one piece. Tickets are not refundable.

Purchase set of 3 tickets

If your are on our postal mailing list and bring in your addressed post card, you will get one free raffle ticket. (This offer is not transferable). In addition, if you spend more than $50 at the show and bring your receipts from the artists to the gate area, you will be given one free raffle ticket per person per day at the show.

The drawing will be held on Sunday at 4 PM and the winners, if not present at the drawing will be notified by telephone or email to arrange delivery of the art work.

Bring the kids! In addition to browsing the artists' booths, there will be a special area just for the little ones. Here they can play with several different media, expressing their own artistic talents.
