52nd Annual Art Sunday to Fill King Caldwell Park with Works of Art from over 100 Artists
Decatur, Ala. (July 3, 2025) – More than 100 artisans and craftsmen will make their way to Scottsboro, Alabama to participate in a juried show and offer their artworks and crafts for sale when the Scottsboro Three Arts Club hold their annual Art Sunday on August 31, 2025. Along with arts and crafts, the event offers musical entertainment, children’s activities, a photography contest and food and beverage vendors. This year will be the 52nd annual event.
Held in King Caldwell Park, Art Sunday features nationally recognized artists and emerging, local creators from across northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. Festival attendees will have the opportunity to shop the work of 100-plus artists and makers between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Several activity spots for children will be situated throughout the park. From balloon art to face painting to woodworking with Home Depot and Love Luggage with Unclaimed Baggage, there will be something fun for the kids. Look for the purple tents for these special activities.
Take a shopping break from searching for one-of-a-kind creations and enjoy performances by talented singers, dancers and musicians from the local area. The entertainment stage will be located near the back of the park, closest to the food vendors.
In conjunction with the festival, a photography contest is offered for aspiring amateur photographers. All entries receive free admission to the festival plus each entry will be entered for a chance to win prizes. First place winners of each youth age division will receive a digital camera. Adult winners will receive a Walmart gift card. Prizes will be awarded at Art Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Contestants who wish to enter the photography contest will need to submit an 8x10 photo of a person, place or thing with a completed entry form and a $5 entry fee for each submission. Submissions can be dropped off at the Scottsboro Board of Education or Jackson County Board of Education by August 28th or brought to the cabin located in King Caldwell Park between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. the morning of the festival.
Festival hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., rain or shine. Admission to the festival is $3 for adults, $2 for school-age children (cash only) and free for children ages 5 and under. Entry is also free for guests wearing this year’s Art Sunday t-shirt and to anyone with a military ID. 2025 Art Sunday t-shirts are available for $20 each. To order, send an email to 3artsclub@gmail.com.
Art Sunday is hosted by the Scottsboro Three Arts Club. Proceeds from Art Sunday make it possible for the club to sponsor many community projects and educational endeavors including performances by the world renowned Alabama Ballet at Northeast Alabama Community College. Additional projects funded by the proceeds of Art Sunday include violin lessons for third graders, field trips to plays, ballets and symphonies, donations to the choral, art, and drama departments, the Veterans Memorial Park of Jackson County and the Scottsboro Public Library.
Located at 1004 South Broad Street in Scottsboro, King Caldwell Park is a public park owned by the City of Scottsboro used for walking, a playground and a pavilion.
