Art Raffle
The Art Raffle serves as both a way for the Berea Arts Fest to raise funds (the day of the Arts Fest) and as a way for visual artists to showcase their work outside of their booth space. Artists are encouraged, not required, to donate one of their pieces of art to the Berea Arts Fest Art Raffle. Tickets are sold the day of the event for $1 each or 6 for $5.00 (prices subject to change).

Berea Arts Fest Welcome Raffle
The Berea Arts Fest will welcome attendees to the Fest at each entrance. Guests will be given a chance to win one of several experiences baskets where all proceeds will benefit the Berea Arts Fest. Some of the baskets include: Cooking, Family Night and Gardening. Baskets will include a variety of items including gift certificates!

Chalk Walk
The Chalk Walk and Face Painting have become part of the Berea Arts Fest but are not actually events provided by the Berea Arts Fest. The Chalk Walk is sponsored by the Berea Branch of the Cuyahoga County Library. The Chalk Walk takes place on the sidewalk along Coe Lake. Registration is highly encouraged at the Berea Branch of the Library approximately 2 weeks prior to event. The Chalk Walk is not a contest and no prizes are awarded. Registrants and walk-ups are given chalk (or can bring their own) and encouraged to create original pieces of chalk art. The Chalk Walk typically takes place between 10 a.m. and noon on the day of the Fest.

Family Art Park
This area of the Fest encourages children of all ages to participate in a variety of art projects. There is no registration and all materials are free of charge. Attendance is drop-in and all ages are invited to participate!

Special Exhibits
The purpose of the Special Exhibits is to present, exhibit and demonstrate a variety of original arts by people of all ages and abilities.

Hospitality
Hospitality is a service provided by the Berea Arts Fest to both its volunteers, visual artists and performing artists. It is a service that is provided that every year receives rave reviews and is greatly anticipated and appreciated. Local restaurants and businesses often donate in-kind items (bakery, fruit, coffee, etc.) and then these items are both carted around to the artists and made available for volunteers (usually early morning) to fuel up on. The hospitality group works out of the Concessions Booth at the Pool House.

Restaurants & Food Vendors
The Berea Arts Fest strives to provide a variety of food options to its attendees and participants on the day of the Fest. There are between six and eight food vendors every year serving everything from main meals to snack foods.

Shuttle Service
Shuttle service is provided as a courtesy of Baldwin Wallace College. Shuttles can be picked-up at the Baldwin Wallace Bonds Building (free of charge) located on Eastland Road. Parking is plentiful and also free of charge. In 2005 the Berea Arts Fest partnered with Baldwin Wallace College to offer shuttle service for the first time in its fifteen year history and has continued ever since. Shuttle schedule to be annouced.
