DUE TO THE INCREASED NUMBER OF REGISTRANTS – the 2023 Carmel International Arts Festival (CIAF) application submission is now extended to April 16.

Judging on the applications will take place April 24 – 28.

Artists from around the world gather in the heart of Old Town Carmel’s Arts & Design District at the intersection of Main Street and Rangeline Road for The Carmel International Arts Festival. This is a juried exhibition with prizes totaling $7,000. Annually, 30,000 festival goers enjoy an admission-free opportunity to view and purchase the art and mingle with artists.

Artists are invited to visit the website to apply: https://www.carmelartsfestival.org/artist-application/

Rules and requirements are also featured on this page. Each artist can submit up to 2 applications for this show.

The Carmel International Arts Festival’s mission is “Educating the Community Through the Arts”. This mission is carried out through this 2-day festival the last weekend of September. CIAF brings in over 100 artists in 9 different mediums to provide the community with the finest samplings to purchase and take home. Each artist goes through a juried process to ensure their art is unique, not mass produced, and is of the highest quality.
