    For those two days, festival goers will get to see and enjoy, in addition to the eclectic boutiques and eateries for which St Armands Circle is so famous, the works of some of the most talented artists/crafters from around the United States.  Some longtime favorite crafters will display their most recent works alongside the works of some of the up-and-coming new talents on the contemporary craft scene.  One-of-a-kind jewelry, fabric arts, photography, pottery, planters, serendipidist items. sculptures and more will be on display and for sale.

    This festival is a competitive event limited to 180 exhibitors who have been chosen by a jury of experienced, 2D and 3D artists and crafts people.  Works of the selected artists will be displayed in an array of media including just about every arts media; digital, fiber, glass, oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, photography, print making, metal and wood sculpture.

    Visitors to the Art Festival and serious art collectors will get to meet and speak with the participating artists and have the opportunity to purchase their original art objects.  There is no charge for admission to this outstanding arts festival.

    This annual St. Armands Circle Art Festival will likely once again be included on the Sunshine Artist magazine's top art shows in the United State.  Again this year, the St Armands Circle Festival is being presented by Howard Alan Events & American Craft Endeavors, a well-known and respected producer of juried arts and crafts festivals.

    If you are new to Sarasota, to get to picturesque St Armands Circle, from I-75, exit 210, which is Fruitville Road go west and turn left onto the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Route 41). Then then turn right onto Gulfstream Blvd. and across the John Ringling Causeway and Bridge to St Armands Circle.

    If you are a seasonal visitor, I would advise you to take a day while you're here to tour the rest of St Armands and Lido Key.  Lido Key is one of Sarasota's larger barrier islands where you'll find elegant homes and luxurious Sarasota condos separated from the Sarasota mainland by St. Armands Circle and the Ringling Causeway.  A short bridge will take you to Longboat Key.  All of the homes and condos on St Armands Circle and Lido Key are either directly on or a short walk or bike ride to the white sands and warm waters of gorgeous Gulf of Mexico beaches.

  If you'd be interested in touring any of the homes or condos on St Armands or Lido Key, I would be delighted to show them to you.  For more information on other home and condominium options throughout the Sarasota - Bradenton area, including Sarasota golf course homes, please visit my Sarasota real estate website and then call me with your questions at 941.266.1799
