Visual Artist Opportunities
Wake Forest Holiday Artisans Market
The Wake Forest Holiday Artisans’ Market returns to Downtown Wake Forest on December 5, 2026, offering shoppers the opportunity to purchase unique, handcrafted gifts and artwork directly from local and regional artists and artisans.
Applications for the 2026 market are now closed. Artists interested in participating in the 2027 Holiday Artisans’ Market may email office@artswakeforest.org to be added to our notification list and receive information when applications open.
Wake Forest Guild of Artists
Through the Wake Forest Guild of Artists, our visual arts program, we support and promote local artists and their work. The Guild fosters a sense of community among artists while providing opportunities to exhibit, market, and sell their work. Guild participants can take part in rotating exhibitions at WakeMed North, Wake Forest Library, Kerr Family YMCA, Hair Undone, and Wake Forest Coffee Company. The Guild also presents the annual Artists Studio Tour, the biennial Paint the Forest Plein Air Festival, and a variety of community outreach and arts education programs throughout the year.
Performing Artist Opportunities
ARTS Wake Forest presents the annual Six Sundays in Spring concert series and helps bring live music to a variety of community events throughout the year. Musicians interested in performance opportunities are invited to contact office@artswakeforest.org for more information.
