Find Your Creative Home

In South Salt Lake, we believe you don’t need "permission" to be an artist, you just need the passion to create. Craftober Fest offers a massive platform for local and international creators to network, collaborate, and thrive.

Art Vendor Market

From fine art prints and custom stickers to handcrafted leather goods and comic books, this is your chance to get your work in front of thousands of art lovers.

Plein Air Artists

This year, we have 8 talented artists bringing their easels and capturing the energy of Craftober Fest by painting en plein air (live and inspired by your surroundings).

Craftober Fest Silent Auction
