The
festival features artistic creations from more than 200
artists, live entertainment, children's
activities and culinary treats. The annual event takes place
at Downtown Disney every November
and there is no charge for admission.
The lakeside setting of Downtown Disney becomes the canvas
for more than 150 artisans to display original creations
during the 32nd annual Festival of the Masters at Walt Disney
World Resort, Nov. 9-11, 2007.
Festival of the Masters, presented by Sharpie®,
is a nationally recognized art show which is ranked among the
country's best outdoor art festivals each year.
To qualify for Festival of the Masters, artists must have
earned a primary award in a juried art festival within the
last three years. Prospective exhibitors submit award
verification and samples of their art to a jury of art experts
who select the participants. This process ensures that
visitors to the Festival will be treated to one of the finest
collections of art in the nation.
Sculpture, jewelry, painting, photography, glass, and
digital art are just some of the art genres showcased at this
year's event. Street painters from the Central Florida Chalk
Artists Association will decorate some 6,000 square feet of
sidewalk with unique drawings. Youngsters can take in the fun
with live music, face painting and interactive kid's zones.
House of Blues will celebrate the creative spirit of folk
art during the 9th annual "Where the Art Meets the
Soul" Folk Art Festival at Downtown Disney West Side.
