Autumn & Art

Who says you need four walls for an art gallery?

Autumn & Art is a three-day outdoor fine art festival where artists from across the country bring their original work, and you decide what deserves a ride home. Browse the art, soak up the fall weather and enjoy live entertainment, food and drinks at Wichita’s Bradley Fair, an upscale northeast Wichita destination with local shops, national retailers, restaurants, landscaped walkways and a picturesque lake.

Art Outside. We Like It Better That Way.

For one weekend each September, Bradley Fair Parkway trades everyday traffic for an open-air gallery filled with original art.

Stroll from artist to artist and shop paintings, photography, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture and more. You can meet the people behind the work, find something you won't see mass-produced somewhere else and, yes, finally do something about that blank wall at home.

But you don't have to know your impressionism from your expressionism to have a good time here. Grab something to eat or drink, catch live entertainment and simply wander. Autumn & Art is as much about spending a fall day outside as it is finding a piece you can't leave without.

Bringing future artists along? Family-friendly, art-inspired activities give kids a chance to get creative, too.
