Welcome to ArtFields 2024, unveiling April 26 - May 4! From it's roots in 2013, the ArtFields competition and festival has played a vital role in transforming downtown Lake City from a tired and economically devastated district into a revitalized, culturally rich, bustling destination. Celebrating art and artists from 12 Southeastern states, ArtFields awards over $100,000 in cash prizes through their award-winning competition each year. This year, ArtFields has even bigger plans as they prepare to showcase over 700 artworks in more venues than ever before!

Turning an entire historic downtown district into a living, breathing indoor/outdoor gallery is an undertaking the ArtFields team does not take lightly. In addition to art/artist recognition, we, along with the ArtFields team, strive to curate the best possible experience for our visitors. So how does one begin to "ArtFields"?

HELPFUL HINTS

• Where to DINE during ArtFields
