The Art Exhibit and Sale is the highlight of the festival and showcases artwork submitted for all competition categories. Each year, artists compete in the Plein Air, Studio Work and Junior categories. The festival mixes it up each year with possible Nocturne, Miniature, Drawing and Abstract competitions.

The exhibit typically includes more than 200 entries in oil, pastel, watercolor, and other mixed media, many some of which have been produced during the days leading up to the show.
