The Artesian Arts Festival is an annual cultural event featuring original First American art, music, dance, food and family-friendly entertainment. Visitors can browse an art market displaying jewelry, sculpture, beadwork, paintings, basketry, metalwork, textiles, pottery and more. Indigenous dance demonstrations, children's activities and elders' arts and crafts are also available. Any member of a federally recognized tribe is welcome to apply as an artist vendor. Accepted artists may submit an entry in one of more than 20 art categories for the competition.

Located on the beautiful Artesian Plaza in downtown Sulphur, Oklahoma, the Artesian Arts Festival is nestled among the Artesian Hotel, Casino and Spa, the ARTesian Gallery & Studios, the Chickasaw National Recreation Area and numerous boutiques and shops.
