About
Join us for the inaugural debut of the Bayfront Blues & Fine Art Festival an exciting new spring fine art tradition on Galveston Island.
Under the direction of Sarah Piel, former Director of ARToberFEST Galveston, this outdoor waterfront festival at Pier 21 brings together exceptional juried fine art and the soulful sounds of live blues music drifting across the bay.
Designed to become a cherished island treasure, the festival offers collectors, music lovers, and visitors a vibrant coastal weekend filled with creativity, rhythm, and inspiration.
