Greetings from the Mississippi Delta!
On behalf of the Crosstie Arts Council, I would like to formally invite you to participate in the 2025 Crosstie Arts & Jazz Festival. For over 50 years we have transformed the Bolivar County Courthouse lawn into a juried fine arts show featuring hundreds of exhibitors featuring paintings, sculpture, pottery, fabric and paper designs, hand-made furniture, jewelry, and much more. With a multitude of activities and live music surrounding the art, Crosstie attracts thousands of collectors and festival goers each year. I hope to see you Saturday, April 5, 2025 on the Bolivar County Courthouse lawn in downtown Cleveland, MS.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
20245 Crosstie President,
Mallory Burchfield
