Dauphin Island Art Trail

We are pleased to invite you to apply for participation in the 12th Annual Dauphin Island Art Trail to be held on Dauphin Island Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, from 9 AM to 4 PM. If accepted, we will confirm your exact location as we get closer to the event. You are responsible for collecting for the artwork you sell and charging all applicable sales tax (10%). An Art Trail volunteer will visit you that day with your sales tax forms to complete and send in after you leave. The size of the booth space is dependent on your location but generally count on having the standard 12’x12’ outdoor area unless you are told otherwise.

This year’s Art Trail continues the fun and community feel our visitors love – including a “Treasure Hunt” to entice patrons to visit all booths. Following the success of last year’s changes, all artists and craftsmen will be located inside historic Cadillac Square Park beneath the majestic live oaks and towering pines.

Juried Arts, Culinary Arts, Literary Arts & Crafts are welcome. Juried artists will be grouped by medium, and craft booths will be located adjacent. Placement will be determined by the jury committee. Each area will have a “stamper” for visitors to mark their Art Trail maps, making them eligible for prize drawings throughout the day. In addition to patron prizes – such as vacation packages, fishing trips, art and gift certificates, there will be $800 in artist awards presented to selected juried artists.

Vendors must be set up and ready by 8:30 AM on the day of the event. ALL vehicles must be moved to the designated parking area by that time. No parking is allowed in or behind tent areas. NO EXCEPTIONS.
