58th Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival

From 58th Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival Website:

The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival (Festival) is one of the nations oldest and most prestigious juried fine art shows. It consistently ranks among the most highly regarded outdoor art shows in the nation with cash awards totaling $72,500 and dedicated patron purchase funds over $70,000. The Festival features original artwork that has been designed and executed within the past two years by the exhibiting artists.

The show is located in Central Park and along Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida, a beautifully landscaped area with the surrounding streets closed during the Festival to allow foot traffic only. Artists booths nestle under large oak trees in the park and line Winter Parks Park Avenue, the heart of a charming downtown with brick streets, unique boutique shops, and inviting outdoor cafes and bistros. Attendance at the Festival is expected to reach over 350,000 people for the three-day event, which takes place on March 17, 18 and 19, 2017. Each year up to 225 artists and three emerging artists are selected for participation.

The three-day event also features a wide variety of entertainment on the stage in Central Park, food and beverage to please the whole family, a popular exhibit of student art from Central Florida schools, and many interactive art activities for the kids.

Portions of the Festival's proceeds are donated to the WPSAF Foundation to fund scholarships for outstanding art students at Rollins College and at the University of Central Florida.
