7th Annual Sarasota Fall Fine Art Festival

Original, handmade art: painting, photography, jewelry, glass, ceramics, mixed-media, - more! Enrich your life, beautify home and office!

November 16-17, 2019 introduces a new collection of original, handmade art at the 7th Annual Sarasota Fall Fine Art Festival. Artisans journey to Sarasota from throughout Florida and more than 17 states across America. Discover artwork that will touch your soul, enrich your life and beautify both your home and office. The Sarasota Downtown Enrichment Association graciously hosts this signature Sarasota art event with the Humane Society of Sarasota County a Special Guest.

JD Hamel Park (at Gulfstream and Main St.) transforms into an outdoor gallery of extraordinary art, creating an exquisite tapestry woven from creations in painting, sculpture, jewelry, glass and ceramics, photography, fiber and wearable art to mixed-media, metalwork, woodworking and more. Talk with the artist and commission a unique piece of art made just for you! All the artisans creating these works will be in attendance, with many represented in the most prestigious private collections and public art institutions.

Hours are 10 am – 5 pm both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free. Bring your sense of discovery and appreciation of the beautiful as you explore art – and yourself – in the process.
