Artist Information:

The application for the 2026 Hilton Head Art Festival is now available!

​

Before Submitting Your Application

The 2026 Hilton Head Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, hosted by Nash Gallery, is a fine art and fine craft show, and not all submissions will be accepted. Previous acceptance to festivals in the area does not guarantee acceptance into this show, nor will artists retain booth locations from prior years. All artists are required to submit a new application each year, including those who have participated in past festivals.

Space is limited due to the festival location, and availability is more limited than in previous years.

The application deadline is March 1, 2026. Artists will be notified in a timely manner regarding acceptance so they can plan accordingly. While the deadline is March 1, spaces may fill prior to that date, and submissions may be closed or extended at our discretion. A waitlist will be maintained should spaces become available.

If you have any special requests, please note them on your application or contact us directly. We will do our best to accommodate requests when possible.

Please note, there are no drive-up spaces available. This is an unload and park festival. Please keep this in mind if you have any physical limitations. No food vendors, please. 

If you have questions regarding the application process, please contact Nash Gallery by phone at (843) 785-6424 or by email at info@nashgallery.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
