EVENT INFORMATION
WE ARE STILL ON! WITH A SPECIAL OFFER! Hurricanes Helene and Milton have not stopped us and in fact it is even more important now to carry on and bring great artists and people together to celebrate Anna Maria Island! Professional artists and crafts persons from across the United States will gather in Holmes Beach City Field on Anna Maria Island March 8th and 9th, 2025 for the 37th Annual Anna Maria Island Springfest Festival of Fine Arts and Fine Crafts. To that end, WE HAVE A SPECIAL OFFER -- those artists that apply, are accepted and pay for a booth space by January 31, 2025 will be entered into a drawing for that booth space cost to be refunded at the time of the festival.
Sponsored by the Anna Maria Island Art League, this juried show draws top quality fine art to Holmes Beach. The hours are: Saturday 10am to 5pm & Sunday 10am to 4pm. Admission and parking are free. This family event features continuous live music on stage Saturday and a food court offering a variety of food and beverages. Also exhibiting will be "Young at Art" students from 17 schools, K-12 grades displaying their art and competing for prizes. Children's activities will be available and an awards party will be held on Saturday night after close of the show.
A highlight of the festival is a raffle of art work donated by festival artists. Proceeds benefit the Art League’s Scholarship Fund, which provides classes to children and adults and supports the "Young at Art"...
RULES/REGULATIONS

4. Exhibited Work: Must be consistent in quality and type with the work on the digital images submitted with the application.

Ineligible work will also be removed from the festival. The decision of the Anna Maria Island Art League Festival Committee will be final.
5. Exhibit Spaces: Measure approximately 10'x10'. Artists are only permitted to display their own work in their space. A two-person team may share a space if their work is a joint effort.

If your booth backs up to another, then keep in mind there is a Shared Space 50/50 between, and divided in two vertically, and respect your fellow artist.
