26th Annual Downtown Sarasota Festival of the Arts

Ranked 48th Top Art Fair in the U.S.

Sarasota’s premier art event, produced by Howard Alan Events and hosted by the Downtown Sarasota Alliance, was recently ranked the 48th top art fair in the United States by Sunshine Artist, the nation’s leading publication for art and craft shows. This highly anticipated festival, now in its 26th year, has long been considered one of the biggest and best art events in the area, consistently ranked among the top 100 outdoor art fairs in the country. The artists will display their finest work along Main Street in downtown Sarasota, spanning from 5 Points-Selby Park to Orange Avenue.  A portion of the proceeds from the art show will benefit the Downtown Sarasota Alliance, dedicated to the enrichment of Historic Downtown Sarasota. Festival patrons will have the opportunity to register to win the free art giveaway featuring the work of exhibiting artist Bob Lehman.  No purchase is necessary to participate.
