Hideaway Bay Resort is pleased to announce the
inaugural Hideaway Bay Art Festival, a lakeside celebration of art, community, and regional
culture taking place on Saturday, September 12, 2026 along the shores of Lake Erie in Silver
Creek, New York.
The one-day juried festival will bring together artists, makers, musicians, and food experiences
in a curated waterfront setting designed to highlight the creative energy of the Great Lakes
region. Guests will be invited to explore a Beachfront Artist Village and an Indoor Artist
Showcase hosted inside Drift restaurant at Hideaway Bay Resort.
Applications for artists and makers are now open, with a submission deadline of June 15, 2026.
“This festival is about gathering people on the shores of Lake Erie to celebrate the creativity of
the Chautauqua region and the broader Great Lakes community,” said Christian Edie, Owner of
Hideaway Bay Resort. “As summer begins to wind down, we wanted to create a day where
people can slow down, spend time by the water, and experience the work of local artists. It is
about connection, landscape, and the shared experience of being on the lake together.”
The festival welcomes artists working in painting, photography, ceramics, jewelry, woodwork,
textiles, and mixed media. Both emerging and established artists are encouraged to apply.
