Anna Maria Winter Art & Craft Fair

This 6th annual 2-day art and craft show takes place in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island at City Field on Marina Drive, across from The Ugly Grouper. The event accepts handmade items and unique gift ideas. The show is open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm with free admission to the public.

Booth spaces are approximately 10' wide by 10' deep with at least 2 feet between booths. Booth and a half and double booths are available on a limited basis. The event is limited to 100 booths. All artist exhibitor tents must be white with no exceptions. Pop-up tents are not recommended; if used, a minimum of 40 pounds per leg (160 pounds total) is required. Setup is Saturday morning from 6:30am to 9am with easy load-in and load-out next to booths. All vehicles must be off the festival footprint by 9am. Free artist parking and trailer parking are available. Onsite bathrooms and free parking are provided; overnight self-contained stays are available for an additional $50 fee.

Artists are selected through a review of their work by a panel of experts. The focus is on handmade and artist-designed items, but the jury will consider unique and creative gift ideas, authors, inventors, and designers for holiday gift giving. Applicants may submit in up to two categories. Entry fees are $275 if paid before November 17, or $325 if paid after. Sponsor spaces start at $600 and are limited to 4-6 booths. Categories include jewelry, ceramics, fiber, glass, metalwork, painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, drawing, graphic and printmaking, mixed media, food/gourmet, candles/soap/aromatherapy/spa/wellness/bath-body products, accessories/clothing, designer, author, and holiday/seasonal items. Jewelry must be applied for separately; if not juried in for jewelry, artists may not sell or display jewelry. All participating artists must be open for full event hours.
