Limited to 125 artists and fine crafters, all ArtOrlando booths are outside, situated near a main mall street with excellent visibility for high patron attraction. Parking for artists is nearby and ample for large crowds of festival visitors. Scheduled during the important holiday shopping season, ArtOrlando will bring the nation’s best artists together in a celebration of both fine art and fine craft. A balanced, multicultural approach will be taken to the mixture of mediums represented, insuring excellent participation of all disciplines without any single medium dominating. ELIGIBILITY: All fine artists and fine crafters age 18 and older are invited to apply to ArtOrlando. Selection will be by a jury of distinguished artists and curators, as well as experienced marketers and collectors. Students under the age of 18 will be separately juried, as will early career artists, for inclusion in an emerging artist category. AMENITIES: Artist parking will be reserved. Security will be provided throughout the weekend. However, artists are urged to remove artwork from their booths overnight on Friday and Saturday nights.

Details are provided upon acceptance by the jury and the artist’s commitment to attend.
