Welcome to the San Dimas Festival of Arts - A legacy of fine art and professional artists since 1977 - 2011 35th Annual National Western Art Exhibition and Sale

We are still fine-tuning our 2012 spring event, but you can start to make your plans now to join the San Dimas Festival of Arts for the Festival’s 36th anniversary event starting Friday April 27th though Sunday, April 29th in 2012.

View the creativity of our nationally acclaimed artists who will exhibit more than 220 works of art in the mediums of oil, acrylic, pastel, drawings, and sculptures.

Watch the artists at work as they battle against the clock in Saturday’s Quick Draw competition and visit with them at their gallery exhibits all weekend.

The artwork will be unveiled at the Premier Opening Friday, April 27th following the traditional Artists’ Reception and Dinner, beginning at 6 PM. The Premier dinner is $35 per person.

The awards dinner will be Saturday, April 28th. Judges will announce winners of gold, silver and bronze medals in five categories plus the recipient of the Best in Show award. The Awards dinner is $25 per person.

Reservations are required for both dinners. You can place your reservations by calling (909) 599-5374.

Admission is free for both the gallery and parking. Gallery hours are Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM.
