About the Art Festival
This free annual event is a three-day extravaganza highlighting the works of many of the association’s 432 members coming from all over North America. It is also a shopping Mecca for all art lovers.
Approximately thirty-five years ago, the annual Arts Festival took flight as a way for the Jekyll Island Arts Association’s members to submit their art for judging and present an exhibit to the public. This festival has evolved into an unequaled event consisting of a committee of 35 people, nearly one hundred volunteers and attracting over 3,000 visitors yearly. With so many high-caliber artists participating, the Arts Festival promises to be competitive and feature an exhibit of the highest quality.
Most submissions to the Arts Festival will be for sale after judging and the “Festival Shop” will be open for purchasing that hard to find handmade item during the festival’s operating hours. In addition to the exhibit and shop, the Jekyll Island Arts Association will have demonstrations by weavers, carvers, painters and potters going on during the Festival. The ever popular Festival Bake Sale will be selling delicious homemade baked goods and lunch can be found at “The Café” where famous Brunswick stew will be served with cornbread and coleslaw. Hot dogs, hamburgers and cold drinks will also be available during “The Café’s” hours of 11:00AM to 2:00PM.
