The Festival attracts over 35,000 art lovers annually, continuing its tradition of providing the community a showcase for Fine Arts, Fine Crafts, Crafts, and Student Art. The Halifax Art Festival is presented entirely by the members of the Guild of the Museum of Arts and Sciences, a dedicated group of volunteers who work nonstop, yearlong, to provide artists with an exceptional opportunity to showcase their work.

The two-day festival features the juried works of 200+ artists, with approximately 150 spaces reserved for Fine Artists competing for cash awards. Both fine arts and craft artisans are selected utilizing a jury panel scoring process.
