Fine Arts Festival

Calling all artists!

Applications are now open for the 2026 Gulfport Fine Arts Festival, taking place February 14–15, 2026, in the heart of one of Florida’s most vibrant, arts-loving communities.

This juried boutique festival welcomes artists in all mediums — including painting, sculpture, fiber, glass, mixed media, photography, wood, jewelry, and more. Held under the oaks of historic Clymer Park, the event attracts thousands of art enthusiasts each year, drawn to the festival’s intimate setting, high-quality work, and passionate buyer base.

Selected artists will enjoy:
 A thoughtfully curated, high-visibility space
 A supportive, arts-savvy audience of collectors and shoppers
 Eligibility for cash prizes, including Best in Show and category awards
 A scenic location just steps from Gulfport’s walkable downtown filled with galleries, shops, and restaurants
 Promotional exposure via VisitGulfportFlorida.com and official festival marketing

Applications will be reviewed by a panel of jurors. Space is limited and competitive, so early submission is encouraged.
