Fine art in the country? You bet! The small town of Edom, located in East Texas halfway between Canton and Tyler is home to several well-known Texas artists and has a long history of hosting fine art festivals.
The Edom Festival of the Arts features some of the finest artists and craftsmen in the state. Live music, food and free children’s art area make this a fun outing for families as well as serious art fanciers.
The festival takes place annually in October.

The town of Edom--in Van Zandt County just a few miles west of the city Tyler--is miniscule. Though Edom was founded in 1849, its population has never topped 300. But size isn’t everything. Beginning in the 1960s, artisans attracted to the hamlet’s comfortably rustic ways and laid-back atmosphere began settling here. Now, Edom’s main drag--a stretch of FM 279--is loaded with shops purveying one-of-a-kind wares by local potters, jewelry makers, glassmakers, and more. Why, there’s even a gourmet food shop. And every October, Edom welcomes scores of artists and craftspeople from all over Texas and beyond to the Edom Festival of the Arts.
