The Stillwater Arts Festival is a community celebration of the visual arts that brings together a diverse range of local and regional artists at the Prairie Arts Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The 2026 Stillwater Arts Festival will take place April 17–18, 2026.This year, our annual spring community exhibition draws inspiration from OSU Museum of Art’s Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts, which highlights more than 127 years of work united by a shared sense of place and artistic dialogue. In response, we invited local artists and community members to create works inspired by Stillwater, then passed those pieces on to others as creative prompts. The result is a chain of artworks in conversation—connected by shared colors, textures, landscapes, and interpretations of place.
Inside the Prairie Arts Center, guests of all ages can participate in free, hands-on art making activities throughout the weekend. In addition, festival goers can take part in Raku Firing ($10 per bowl). Prairie’s pottery studio instructors and students have created bowls for visitors to glaze using the ancient raku technique. Instructors will be on hand to help participants choose glazes and firing materials and to guide them through the firing process.
In addition to festival activities at the Prairie Arts Center, visitors can explore special programming throughout the Stillwater Cultural District, including offerings from OSU Museum of Art, Block 34, Stonecloud Brewing Company, Stillwater Public Library, and Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar. Local food trucks will be on-site, and the Stillwater Farmers Market joins us on Saturday morning.
This event is made possible through the generous support of the Stillwater Arts Council, Oklahoma State University, Visit Stillwater, and the City of Stillwater. Their continued dedication helps ensure the festival remains a valued community tradition.
