As the days grow longer and a new season unfolds in downtown, Mooresville Arts invites the community to gather once again at the historic Depot for one of our most anticipated traditions of the year—SpringFest! Highlighting a diverse showcase of talented, local artists, SpringFest offers an opportunity to explore the gallery, connect with community, and celebrate the incredible creative talent that makes our region so special.
This year’s judge is Sybil Wornall, owner of Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC. Ms. Wornall has over twenty years of experience in the art world, and we are so thankful to her for lending her time and expertise in selecting the award winners for this year’s show.
Award winners will be announced during the SpringFest reception on Friday, April 10th, from 6pm to 9pm. Join us to meet the artists, connect with fellow art lovers, and experience the excitement of the awards presentation. In conjunction with this popular exhibit, Mooresville Arts is partnering with the Mooresville Downtown Commission to present Arts & Acoustics throughout downtown Mooresville. Guests can enjoy live art demonstrations, local musicians, and the lively atmosphere of our downtown social district on a beautiful spring evening. We hope you’ll join us—everyone is welcome!
Of course, Mooresville Arts relies heavily on the support of the community to make all our exhibits and events happen! Thank you to our SpringFest sponsors: Four Corners Framing & Gallery, and Lake Norman Realty, Inc.
If you’re looking to add new artwork to your home, many pieces in the SpringFest exhibit will be available for purchase—don’t miss the chance to bring a piece of this vibrant collection home. Every purchase not only brightens your space but also supports the local artists and the broader Mooresville art community. SpringFest will be on display in the gallery from March 31st through May 14th.
The fun doesn’t stop there this spring. While the SpringFest exhibit is at the Depot, be sure to mark your calendars for our first gallery crawl of 2026 on Friday, April 24th from 6pm to 8pm. Partnering with Four Corners Framing & Gallery and Juelerye Artisan Gallery & Gifts, each gallery will feature artists onsite, artsy activities and more!
About Mooresville Arts – Founded in 1955, Mooresville Arts began as a small group of artists who wanted to paint together and share ideas.

Mooresville Arts is dedicated to showcasing local and regional talent, providing educational opportunities in the arts, creating an inclusive space for artists and art lovers alike, and supporting the cultural life of our community.
Mooresville Arts is introducing new spring hours, starting in April! The gallery will be open Tuesday through Thursday 12pm to 4pm, Friday 2pm to 8pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
