St. Armands Circle Art Festival

January 28th & 29th

Looking for some fun this weekend?  Well, make your way to the Annual St. Armands Circle Art Festival!!  This art festival makes the list of Sunshine Artist Magazine’s top art shows in the country.  For two days, attendees will have access to aisles of creative pieces of art from a broad range of mediums.  Prices are set to suit all budgets and range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $30,000 metal sculptures.  Patrons will enjoy works from the nation’s best talent – long-time festival favorites along with the newest names on the contemporary art scene.  Come see some of America’s best artists displaying one of a kind jewelry and pottery.  Additionally, there will be a vast array of original art including paintings, life size sculpture, photography, glass, wood and collages.

 While admission is free and open to the public, the purpose of the St. Armands Circle Art Festival is to support the arts, the St. Armands Circle Association and the Local Economy.  Thus, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the St. Armands Circle Association.  The artists will line the streets of St. Armands Circle as well as South Boulevard of the Presidents with their professional display booths, transforming this popular shopping and dining destination into a first-class outdoor art gallery.  The event appeals to people of all ages including families, art enthusiasts, and collectors looking for new and emerging talent.  

 If you’ve never been, Sarasota is on Florida’s west coast and St. Armands Key lies just off the coast.   It is, indeed, a part of the infamous grouping of islands that make up that luxurious escape from our humdrum lives.  In addition to the festival, St. Armands will provide a variety of fine shops and gourmet restaurants.  While you’re there, use this weekend to bask in its history and beauty.  St. Armands provides an unforgettable experience for visitors.
