Description

Chula League produces a variety of projects to achieve its mission and purpose. We have 2 main programs that occur each year.

Cherrywood Art Fair is an art-filled two-day event showcasing local artists, live music, kids activities, and great food in a free, family-friendly environment. More than 8,000 visitors stroll through the fairgrounds looking at art, listening to beautiful music, and sampling some of Austin’s finest food trailer cuisine. Since its 2002 inception, the Fair has served as a destination for discerning holiday shoppers seeking unique and artful items from Texas artists. www.cherrywoodartfair.org.

Proceeds from Cherrywood Art Fair benefit Maplewood Elementary and Chula League's Little Artist BIG ARTIST arts-mentoring program that pairs fifth graders with professional artists. Select Little Artists works are auctioned at the Cherrywood Art Fair to benefit the East Austin school art programs.
