Tony Paraná selected as Fall Cottonwood Featured Artist
Becoming an artist wasn’t part of a carefully planned career path. In fact, before moving to the United States in 2002, he never imagined painting would become his life’s work.

Ride in and roll up with ease
The Cottonwood Art Festival is proud to partner with our friends at the Richardson Bicycle Coalition and BikeDFW to offer complimentary bike valet and parking—an easy, convenient, and sustainable way to enjoy the festival. Guests can check their bikes with on‑site attendants in a secure, designated area and enjoy the festival knowing their ride is safely looked after. It’s a convenient, eco‑friendly way to experience the art, music, and food in Cottonwood Park without the hassle of parking.
Introducing the 2026 Emerging Artist
The Emerging Artist Program recognizes the talent of ten local high school artists by offering them the opportunity to exhibit at Cottonwood and more!
