An Organization For Artists Run By Artists

Art In The Hollow is where summer starts on the East Side. We're a grassroots art festival run by artist organizers that transforms the idyllic Swede Hollow Park into a full-blown arts & culture festival every first Saturday in June. As a true East Side St Paul festival, we care about our neighbors and represent our diverse neighborhood with art, music, food, culture, nature & history. We make things affordable and accessible to artists at all levels of experience and walks of life, providing a truly unique festival experience for anyone making the annual pilgrimage to Swede Hollow each year.

Expect live music & performance, kids activities, food trucks, plein air painting, and over 100 local artists. The event is free to attend and open to the public.

What is Art in the Hollow?
Art in the Hollow (AITH) is a multidisciplinary arts festival run primarily by artists and entirely by community members. Established in 2010 by members of Friends of Swede Hollow (FOSH), AITH has since encouraged visitors to discover the natural amenities while engaging with local artists, small businesses, and the diverse cultures of the East Side. When possible, AITH brings artists into festival leadership positions who have experience overcoming barriers of language, economics, disabilities, and culture.
