The River Clay Fine Arts Festival is a juried festival held in Historic Downtown Decatur, Alabama the fourth weekend in October. River Clay kicks off with our patron preview, River Clay Rendezvous, on Friday evening with great food and drinks for you and your helper/guest. Our artist market is Saturday and Sunday, set in the greenspace surrounding City Hall. Our dedicated staff provides our artists with volunteer support, including help at load-in and load-out, breakfast, lunch, snacks, water, booth sitters and an artist helpline and indoor artist/staff-only restrooms. River Clay is located in downtown Decatur, across from the Cook Museum of Natural Science. Our downtown is known as a hot spot of artistic energy, and our location is in the middle of it all - close to free parking, restaurants, boutiques, and affordable hotel options. Artist amenities include judging by art professionals, cash awards, personalized service by staff, indoor artist-staff only restrooms, high quality work, and absolutely no buy/sell. River Clay is a high quality show for true professionals. With a maximum of 80 booths, our jury is extremely selective and we strive to present a balanced and impressive show! Marketing includes print, billboard, social media and radio broadcast with an award-winning visual signature.
