ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival 2026

The Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce invites artists to participate in the 41st annual ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival, presented by Tampa General Hospital. This two-day outdoor event takes place over Presidents' Day weekend on February 14th and 15th (Saturday and Sunday) in Palm Beach Gardens. The festival features over 250 juried artists across 12 fine art categories: Ceramics, Fiber (wearable and nonwearable), Drawing and Printmaking, Glass, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Digital Art, and Wood. A jury of highly regarded art professionals selects artists for their unique styles and artistic excellence. An Emerging Artist program is available for first-time festival artists who have never exhibited at an art show.

During ArtiGras, three judges will select 25 artists and award $15,000 in prizes, including Best of Show ($3,000) and First Place in each category ($1,000). Judging begins at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, with awards presented Sunday morning. Artists must submit four digital images: three of individual artwork pieces and one outdoor festival display or booth shot. Images must show work completed within the past 2 years and be in 1920x1920 pixel format. The application fee is $50, and artists retain all revenue from sales with no commission due to the festival.

The Emerging Artist program is designed for artists with no experience exhibiting or selling artwork at any venue. Emerging artists must be permanent Florida residents living between St. Lucie and Broward Counties, pay a reduced booth fee, and receive a 10'x10' tent with pro-panels plus mentoring. All participating artists must provide a Certificate of Insurance. Application deadline is September 24, 2025, with jury selection October 4-5, 2025, and acceptance notifications by the end of October.
