The Gulf Coast Arts FestivalThe Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival November 4 - 6, 2011 at Seville Square in Pensacola, Florida is a special time for some artists and hopefuls. They bring their creations to display and be judged against others. They all hope to do well and receive the recognition they desire.
The applicants are required to submit three slides of their work along with one of their display. The judges have no names attached to the slides, but choose them by their works. Out of some 600 applicants they will choose 200 to be invited to display their works.
Categories including ceramics, drawing, fiber/leather, glass, jewelry, mixed media, oil/acrylic, photography, printmaking/graphics, sculpture, watercolor and wood will be displayed. This is quite a selection of fine works to view. You may wish to bring along your camera.
