Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival

Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival
The Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival is a juried art show. Each year, more than 600 applications for the festival were received. Each applicant is required to submit three slides of their work and one slide of their display area along with their application. Qualified jurors are shown each artists' slides simultaneously and anonymously, and collectively choose more than 200 artists who will be invited to exhibit their work. Best of Show, Awards of Distinction, Awards of Excellence, Awards of Honor, and Awards of Merit winners from previous festivals are exempt from the jurying process. The artists compete for a total of $25,000 in prize money in categories including ceramics, drawing, fiber/leather, glass, jewelry, mixed media, oil/acrylic, photography, printmaking/graphics, sculpture, watercolor and wood. This family oriented festival is ranked in the top 50 Fine Art Shows in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine.
