If you love beauty and creativity and wish to add inspiration to your home, office and life, join us at Lido Beach on February 4-5, 2017 for the premiere of the Lido Beach Winter Fine Art Festival. The event is graciously hosted by the Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association.

Over the weekend, Lido Beach transforms into an outdoor gallery of original handmade art by artisans from across Florida and throughout the United States. Together they weave a tapestry of extraordinary fine art from creations in painting, sculpture, jewelry, glass and ceramics, photography, fiber and wearable art to mixed-media, metalwork, woodworking and more.

Hours of the Lido Beach Winter Fine Art Festival are 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free. You need only bring your sense of discovery and appreciation of the beautiful. Explore art – and yourself – in the process.
