2026 Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition

The 2026 Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition hours are: Thursday, July 9 through Saturday, July 11, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Sunday, July 12, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

As part of the annual Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition’s jury process, artists from across the United States and several foreign countries submit digital images of their work to be juried by the January 23 deadline. The link to Zapplication to apply to the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition is here.

In February, a panel reviews the images using the Zapplication remote jury process and the artists receiving the highest scores are accepted into the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition.

To encourage and support the visual arts on a regional basis, the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition offers an in-person jurying for artists whose primary residence is in the following Central Pennsylvania counties: Blair, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Mifflin and Union. Through the Central Pennsylvania Division of the Sidewalk Sale, many artists have been introduced to exhibiting at juried outdoor shows. All exhibitors in the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition are subject to the same rules, pay the same fees, and are eligible for the same awards.

Our jurors visit each exhibitor during the Festival as part of the jury process and subsequently award $20,000 in prize money. These award winners are announced at the awards ceremony at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday during the Festival, at the Allen Street Stage.  

Our 2026 jurors are: 

Barbara Bayne, Jeweler

Brian Grow, Educator & Potter

Laura Libert, Director of the Lore Degenstein Gallery

Rosemary Feit Covey, Printmaking
