Description
The 50th annual Halifax Art Festival is the 2nd oldest continual art festival in the state of Florida and attracts well over 30,000 visitors annually. This free Festival, open to the public, will take place on November 3 & 4, 2012, in Riverfront Park on historic downtown Beach Street, Daytona Beach, from Orange Avenue to Bay Street.
The Festival will have over 230 juried artists and artisans exhibiting original two-dimensional art, photography, sculpture, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, wood, metal, and glass pieces for purchase. This year, the Festival expanded to celebrate seasoned as well as emerging artists and craftsmen. There will be two distinct exhibit areas. The first area will be Fine Arts & Fine Crafts which will be juried, judged and eligible for over $35,000 in prize money and Patron Awards. The second area will be juried Crafts which will not be eligible for award money. All Crafts are handmade, original pieces of art for sale at reasonable prices.
The Museum of Arts and Sciences will have a booth at the Festival offering many collectibles and gift items for purchase.
The Guild will, also, be selling Festival T-shirts at the information booth.
The Guild has always supported and rewarded student artists. Look for the large tent housing art from students of all ages from the Volusia County public school system as well as area private schools. The student art will be displayed all day Saturday and Sunday. Steve McLachllin, a local painter, sculptor and art restorer, will judge the art and announce the winners at 2pm on Sunday.
The Kohl’s Kidz Art Zone celebrates our smallest artist with the free “Little Van Gogh” area located near the Magnolia Avenue Bridge. Easels, smocks, washable paint, and brushes will be supplied. Each child can take home their own masterpiece.
International street cuisine and good old-fashioned festival food will be featured for hungry festival attendees. Beach Street restaurants will be open and featuring specials for festival goers. There will also be live entertainment with musicians playing a variety of popular music.
The Halifax Art Festival is presented by the Guild of the Museum of Arts & Sciences and is sponsored by the Daytona Beach Downtown Development Authority. The Festival is the major fundraiser for MOAS and will also benefit the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum.
