Schlafly Art Outside Festival

Schlafly is proud to sponsor and host the 21st annual Art Outside Festival held at Schlafly Bottleworks in historic Maplewood. This is an alternative art fair, in which every piece of artwork is unique and made by the artists.

We will be inviting an array of mediums such as: acrylic, ceramics, glass, jewelry, metalwork, oil, pastel/pencil/charcoal, pen/ink, photography, stonework, tempera, textile/fiber, watercolor, and woodworking - just to name a few!

Like beer, art brings people together, and we aim to raise awareness and appreciation of art, music, and an ice-cold beer that are all created in our very own community.

Each year, we feature over 60 local artists and deliver a family-friendly experience you won’t find anywhere else. Come peruse and get to know art without pretense.

No tickets are required!

Nope! Art Outside is a family friendly event, so bring the kids and enjoy some art. Of course, it is 21+ to drink.

Well-behaved doggos on leashes are allowed. Please keep in mind this event takes place on our parking lot with large crowds.

Since Art Outside takes place on our main parking lot, there will not be immediate parking available. There are several public lots nearby, as well as street parking - but they will fill quickly. We encourage public transportation, cabs, Uber or biking.

Please be mindful and considerate of our neighbors when deciding where to park, and please do not park on residential streets.

The artist selected for the festival this year will be by Schlafly Beer invitation only and are based on previously juried artist applications from the past 20 years. Artist invitations will be sent out and those invited to participate will be required to pay their booth fee in order to reserve their spot at the festival.

Art Outside will not be juried this year and no paid applications will be required. The invitation email will include payment information for booth reservation ($250).
