From over 350 applications, 150 Floridian artists were selected in eight different categories including ceramics, drawings and graphics, fiber, fine crafts, jewelry, painting, photography and sculpture. Prize money awarded by festival judges in 2012 will exceed $16,000.
The festival will also be part of the City of Winter Park’s 125th anniversary weekend. On Saturday, October 13 at 11 a.m., Mayor Ken Bradley will join the festival festivities at Central Park Stage to mark the occasion and serve a large birthday cake, while supplies last. Throughout the festival, attendees will be able to enjoy live musical entertainment, children’s activities led by instructors from The Crealdé School of Art and a beer garden. The event is free and open to the public both days from 9am-5pm.
