Celebration of the Arts (COA), organized by the Arts Council of Midland, returns for our 40th year! COA is the cornerstone fine art, fine craft event in the Permian Basin, and is the longest running downtown event in Midland, Texas. COA has a strong reputation locally, with community support year after year, and draws out of town visitors. The festival hosts local entertainers and performers, non-profit organizations, family-friendly activities, and special events throughout the weekend. On Friday evening, we hold a ticketed Premier Party showcasing our juried visual artists to sponsors and ticketed guests. On the following Saturday & Sunday, the festival opens to the general public. Beat the heat inside the air conditioned Bush Convention Center and enjoy a great time with the family!

Festival Day: Saturday, July 13, 2024 | 10AM - 5PM | Free Admission

It is mystic; it is wild! Get your tickets and join us on the evening of July 12 for a sense of awe and wonder at our Premier Party!

Journey into the visual artists marquee to shop original artwork before the festival opens Saturday. Bring the entire family! Live art demonstrations, music, and silent auction benefiting the Arts Council of Midland! Fun for all ages!
