Downtown Disney Becomes Lively Outdoor Gallery During Festival of
the Masters, November 9-11
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,
November 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.
Collectors Editions presents Disney Performance Artists Trevor Carlton
and Stephen Reis who will create an original masterpiece just outside
the Virgin Megastore on Saturday, November 10, at 1pm. The original
artwork will be available for purchase through a silent auction.
The fine arts awards ceremony will take place on Saturday at 3pm on the
stage near the Virgin Megastore.
Festival hours are 9:30am - 5:30pm each day of the festival. Admission
is complimentary. For more information about Festival of the Masters,
