Gulfport Fine Arts Festival 2026

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. Space is limited and competitive, so early submission is encouraged.

Selected artists will enjoy a thoughtfully curated, high-visibility space and a supportive, arts-savvy audience of collectors and shoppers. Artists are eligible for cash prizes, including Best in Show and category awards across 2D, 3D, runner-up, and emerging artist categories including ceramics, glass, painting, jewelry, wood, sculpture, mixed media, metal work, and fiber. The festival features a scenic location just steps from Gulfport's walkable downtown filled with galleries, shops, and restaurants, along with promotional exposure via VisitGulfportFlorida.com and official festival marketing.

Booth spaces are 10 x 10 for $325, with notification provided 15 days prior to the event. Booth setup is on 2/13/26. The festival includes live music, delectable delights, shaded dining, plenty of free parking, handicap accessibility, children's activities, live painting, and a butterfly encampment in a garden setting. Applications require 4 images and a booth shot, with no application fee. Artists are responsible for collecting and submitting sales tax.
