FestivalSouth 2025 Events
FestivalSouth 2025 Art Auction
Every year, FestivalSouth celebrates its upcoming season by inviting an artist to create an original work that represents the month-long event through their creativity and vision. This artist, along with their featured commemorative artwork, is given the opportunity to showcase their art with an exclusive exhibition that is showcased for the length of the festival. This year, our featured FestivalARTIST, Ricardo Moody, created a piece titled “Celebration”.
The auction continues now through 7:00 pm CST on June 21, 2025. The winner will be announced that same evening at our FestivalFinale at the Saenger Theatre at 7:30 pm. You need not be present to win.
