Student Artists

A key element of ARToberFEST Galveston’s mission is to promote exposure to art and arts education to the youth in our community. To encourage and nurture young artists, the Festival provides free booth space to students in the Galveston county area. For 2024, we are pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to Janie Adame and Luna Girtman; two young art entrepreneurs who will showcase and sell their original artworks at the Festival.
