Every May, for more than 35 years, the CAA’s ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival showcases more than 125 local, regional and national fine artists for residents and visitors. This year’s event planned for Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 4 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., transforms North Park in Grand Boulevard Town Center into a vibrant hub of artistic expression offering a dynamic showcase of talent. Artists compete for prestigious awards and cash prizes totaling $10,000, with winners selected by a panel of distinguished judges.
Beyond the stunning artwork, ArtsQuest offers an immersive experience for all ages. Attendees can enjoy live demonstrations, an exclusive CAA member exhibit, and a Walton County student exhibit highlighting the next generation of creative talent. This year also includes a special showcase from the CAA’s transformative Prison Art program, an interactive public art installation, and a silent auction featuring unique pieces and experiences.
Live entertainment will fill the air throughout the weekend, creating a festive atmosphere, while families can explore “ImagiNation: Where Kids Rule,” a hands-on creative space designed just for young artists.
