2026 Artist Reveal

Featured Artist Natalie Catar and Festival Chair Shannon Gandy

Natalie Catar was announced as the 2026 Featured Artist for the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival during the February. First Friday Artwalk. Natalie's striking black-and-white artwork, The Heron, beautifully captures this year’s Festival theme "Classic Fairhope in Black and White."

Thank you to our friends at Provision for hosting such a wonderful night, and to Social Magazine for sharing these beautiful photos.

We'd also like to thank our Festival Chair, Shannon Gandy, and Co-Chair, Wendy Soles, for making it a memorable celebration in Fairhope.
