Currently in its 43rd year, the Lubeznik Arts Festival is one of the highlights of summer in Northwest Indiana! It takes place on LCA’s grounds, just steps away from Lake Michigan, to connect festivalgoers to the organization’s dynamic programming and exhibitions. During this year’s festival, we’ll have all sorts of artists, local food vendors, indoor exhibitions, family activities, demos and live mural competition. LCA’s summer blockbuster exhibition will also be on display during the festival.

Eligibility: In recent years, LAF received many applications from artists who create a mix of items—such as paintings, prints, jewelry and t-shirts—and wish to exhibit all of them in one tent. Unfortunately, booths featuring a mix of mediums will not be accepted into this festival. The LAF is seeking artists who specialize in a single fine art or fine craft medium and display only that medium in their booth.
Media Categories:
- 2-Dimensional Art: Painting, drawing, printmaking, pastels, mixed-media
- Fine Craft: Functional, clay/ceramics, glass, wood, metal, fiber, textile, paper
- Jewelry
- Photography: Traditional and digital techniques
- Sculptural Objects: Non-functional, all media
- Wearable Art: Wearable and accessories
Submission Guidelines: A non-refundable (unless LAF is canceled) application fee of $35 is required. All applications must be received by April 4, 2025. Artists will be notified of their acceptance by May 12, 2025. Artists placed on the waitlist will be notified as openings become available.
