St. Augustine Festival of Art

ARTISTS: Join the ever-growing group of distinguished regional and national artists who participate in the St. Augustine Art & Craft Festival. This prestigious juried fine art exhibition is Northeast Florida’s premier outdoor art gathering, held in the heart of the nation’s oldest city surrounded by history and attractions that draw thousands of visitors, art collectors and discerning shoppers.

A jury panel of art professionals selects the top artists from a pool of entries in these categories: Drawing & Pastel, Painting, Photography, Jewelry, Sculpture, Pottery, Woodworking, Glassworks, 2D/Graphics, Fiber & Leather, Gourds, Baskets, and Mixed Media. All artwork is handmade of the finest materials and craftsmanship, professionally displayed in booth tents throughout the festival grounds. Judging for awards takes place on the field with cash prizes and ribbons awarded for outstanding artistic achievement.
