Sienna Art Festival to be held Nov. 4

The fourth annual Sienna Art Festival will be held Saturday, Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Forest Lake Model Home Village, 1910 Regal Water Drive. The event will feature nearly 50 artists as well as new artistic “Patio Party” tablescapes in outdoor living spaces of the model homes surrounding the festival site. 

Each year, the festival showcases a variety of art, including oil and water paintings, photography, jewelry and more. This year, sculptures and art featuring wood and textiles also will be on display and for sale during the juried event.

“We’re excited to have such a wide variety of art and some of the area’s best known artists participating,” Debra Jan Hall, artist and event organizer, said in a press release. “About a quarter of our participating artists were also juried into the Bayou City Art Festival, which is difficult to do.”

Winning artists will receive cash prizes, including $500 for Best of Show, while first place in the juried art competition wins $400. The second-place winner takes home $300 and third place wins $200.

The festival will include an expanded live music line-up, with Micah Edwards and his band taking the stage at noon and local favorites “Heights Fools on Stools” performing at 3 p.m. Children’s activities such as face painting, balloon art and more will also be on offer.

Cousins Maine Lobster, Chick-fil-A, Roco’s Grill & Smokehouse, Krazy Kups And Kones, Wood-Fired Pizza, Taco Vibez and Funnel Bar will be onsite selling food. Attendees age 21 and older can purchase adult beverages from Texas Biergarten, Texas Leaguer Brewing Co. and Wine Vibes Micro Brewery & Bistro.

New this year is a tour of model homes with a spotlight on Patio Party Hacks, where themed arrangements by Texas Party Box and Aryce Designs will be displayed at each of the nine models surrounding the shaded festival lawn. Themes include It’s Fall Y’all, Boho Date Night for Two, Barbie Party and Not Your Average Holiday Party.

“In addition, visitors can register to win prizes at each model home,” said Allison Bond, Sienna Marketing Director.

“Approximately 1,600 people enjoyed the easy vibe of last year’s festival,” Bond said. “The additional entertainment and over-the-top artistry of the patio tablescapes will make this event an even bigger draw.”
