We welcome your application to the 50th Tarpon Springs Fine Arts Festival on the Bayou, a premier outdoor event. This juried show attracts artists from across the U.S. It offers artists the opportunity to exhibit in a waterfront, oak-shaded park in the center of Tarpon Springs. The city was named Best Historic Small Town for 2018 by USA Today. Some 18,000 loyal patrons flock to the show every year to interact with and buy from exhibitors, sample craft beer and good food, and enjoy live entertainment. Awards total $19,000.
Spring Bayou anchors Tarpon Springs’ interlocking waterways that directly feed into the Gulf of Mexico. These waters draw thousands of day visitors and winter residents. Tarpon Springs sits at the north end of Florida's most densely-populated county, accessible from the entire Tampa Bay area. It offers an old Florida ambience with its brick streets, restored Victorian mansions and intimate bungalows surrounding the Festival venue. Downtown boasts a variety of restaurants and shops, just two blocks away. The historic Sponge Docks area, celebrating Greek heritage, is an easy walk or trolley ride away. The Festival, in the midst of these attractions, provides a unique opportunity for purchasing fine art and fine craft.
