Take Part in Scarborough Art
Scarborough Art
The next Scarborough Art festival will take place from Saturday 4 July to Sunday 2 August 2026.
HOW TO TAKE PART
Registrations are now open! Ensure that you finalise your registration by 13 March to be included in the printed brochure for The Scarborough Fair Summer Season.
Scarborough Art is an opportunity for you to present, display and sell your work, open your studio to the public or offer workshops in your chosen media. This is your platform to help you in your artistic ventures, and everyone is welcome to register to take part, whether you are a professional artist, student, or an enthusiastic amateur. Registration is £30, or £15 for residents in YO11, YO12, YO13 or YO14.
Scarborough Art is also an opportunity for venues and businesses to host, programme or curate exhibitions or events that are tailored to what they want and of a style that they particularly like or suits their venue. Registrations are free for venues.
