Supporting Local Arts
The Twin Rivers Arts Festival is dedicated to presenting an opportunity for the public to engage with creating artists. We encourage and support visual artists by producing an affordable, convenient, professional venue for them to gain exposure and display and sell their works. We also celebrate local musicians by inviting them to perform on our festival stage.
Thank You to our Sponsors
Sponsorships help provide a wide variety of benefits to the artists and the community including increased exposure and interaction for artists, stipends for festival musicians and underwriting of the GSR Up and Coming Artist.

MAYO CLINIC HEALTH SYSTEM EVENT CENTER, MANKATO, MN
The Twin Rivers Arts Festival is an annual, free event held in Mankato, MN, the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving. It is Greater Mankato’s only juried art festival dedicated to serving professional artists, and those working towards that goal, by connecting them with the Greater Mankato community. Over the past 24 years, the festival has grown from three visual artists to 70+ artists, authors and musicians.
During the summer of each year, artists submit an application with photos of their work. Artists pay a booth fee to participate and the funds pay for our event space and marketing. All sales go directly to the artists.
