Public art education is important to us. The Festival encourages ALL artists to demonstrate during the festival and will provide extra space to do so. Artists who have a more complex demonstration may apply for the "artist demonstration" program. If accepted booth fee may be waived in exchange for the weekend commitment to demonstrate.

The St. Johns River Festival of the Arts, Inc. is a non-profit organization (organized by artists) with programs and scholarships benefiting our "Art for Kids" program. A program offering art education and instruction to local children regardless of their ability to pay.
