Tobacco-Free Campus |
Midway College became a Tobacco-Free Campus in January. We thank you for your consideration. |
No Pets, Please |
We love dogs, but like many art festivals we ask that you leave them at home for the safety and enjoyment of our artists and visitors. (Guide dogs permitted) |
The primary focus of the Francisco's Farm Arts Festival is the outdoor exhibition
of juried fine art and fine craft,
giving our audience the opportunity to
meet the artists as well as purchase their art.
The City of Midway is charming and a geographically well-centered location for this fine art show. The beautiful, tree-shaded campus of Midway College provides the perfect venue.

“Francisco’s Farm Arts Festival has grown and developed into a first class event. It is professionally organized and operated and is appreciated by both
the exhibitors and guests. The festival is situated on the beautiful and spacious Midway College campus which creates the perfect backdrop for the juried artists to display their talents. I have been to both the St. James Art Festival in Louisville and the Berea Art Festival, and Francisco’s Farm complements those successful events. It is positioned to grow in attendance and stature
in the years to come.”
