Art in the Square (AITS) Southlake has been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The new dates are September 24-26, 2021.

The 2021 AITS Committee has held multiple meetings and has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic relative to large gatherings. They have determined that postponement can only assist in the advancement of the health of our community and of those who attend from near and far. 

“It is highly important for us to continue to place the safety and well-being of our artists, patrons, volunteers, vendors, partners, and community as our top priority,” said AITS Chairwoman, Kathy Talley. "While we were so proud to announce our #1 ranking in 2020, we will be even prouder to carry that ranking forward and conduct a safer festival in the fall of 2021."

Art in the Square is a family-friendly, juried art festival, which is also a fundraiser that benefits several charitable organizations across Northeast Tarrant County. The Southlake Women's Club and its SWC Foundation have been honored to give over 3 million dollars in its 20+ year history. The art festival includes food, music, and other features that create a wonderful weekend event for attendees. Mark your calendars for September 24-26, 2021!
