Coquina Beach Spring Art & Craft Show - April 2027

Blue Ribbon Events presents the Spring Art & Craft Show at a new event space on Anna Maria Island, located on the gulf side at the extreme south end of the island. This is the third year of Blue Ribbon Events at this location. The event takes place Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm, with setup on Saturday morning from 6:30am to 9am. All vehicles must be off the festival footprint by 9am.

The event is limited to 70-80 booth spaces, approximately 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep with at least 2 feet between booths. Booth and a half and double booths are available on a limited basis. Entry fees are $275 if paid before February 4, or $325 if paid after. Artists may apply in up to two categories. All artist exhibitor tents must be white with no exceptions; pop-up tents are not recommended due to wind and rain issues. A minimum of 40 pounds per leg (160 pounds total) is required for tent anchoring. Displays must be professional and reflect the images submitted for jurying. Participants must be open for full event hours; there are no one-day opportunities.

Blue Ribbon Events accepts artists, crafters, inventors, designers, and other creative makers across multiple categories including ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, painting, photography, and more. Applicants are selected through a review of their work by a panel of qualified experts. All jewelry must be entered in the jewelry category; if not juried in for jewelry, participants may not sell or display jewelry. The event includes comprehensive marketing through local publications, area tourism websites, social media, posters, and rack cards distributed throughout the region. No pets are allowed unless written notification is provided at least four weeks in advance with required insurance naming Blue Ribbon Events and the venue as additional insured.
