The Bayou City Art Festival is returning for families across the region to enjoy. As in previous years, the nation’s premier spring outdoor festival will feature diverse artists, support local organizations and highlight the impact of art on the Houston community.

More than 250 artists from across the country will showcase their work in 19 different disciplines. This year’s featured artist is Gwendolyn E. Redfern, a watercolor painter from Raleigh, North Carolina.

“I have always been fascinated with architecture,” said Redfern, who has exhibited in numerous art shows, galleries and festivals since 1998. “All the geometric forms that line the city streets, buildings, bridges and nature in general are the inspiration for my work.”

The festival will also include entertainment stages, a food truck park, beverage stations and a Chef’s Culinary Arts Stage, where guests can enjoy tastings with featured local chefs.
