The Foothills Art Festival is a long standing tradition held within the foothills of Southeastern Ohio and is made possible by the generosity of arts supporters. A project of the Southern Hills Arts Council, the festival draws approximately 100 artists and over 500 works of art each October.
The Foothills Art Festival was originally started in 1981 by Jeanne and Louis Jindra at The Winery on Camba Road. The festival continued at this location, first inside the winery and later in two huge tents on the winery’s grounds, until the winery closed and the event moved to its current Canter’s Cave location. In 1985, Southern Hills Arts Council assumed sponsorship of the festival.
