<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14pt;">For 59 years, the Festival has been one of the most prestigious outdoor juried fine arts shows in the United States. There is truly not a more iconic South Florida arts festival. The idyllic Coconut Grove setting, the sailboats moored on Biscayne Bay, the familiar faces, the festive atmosphere, and the world-class art all lead to its success. We will award over $50,000 in prize money.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:14pt;">“The 2023 Coconut Grove Arts Festival was my first time doing the show - it was an incredible experience. Set up was easy, logistics were clear and the crowds were insane! Never have I seen that many people at an art festival. I had a profitable show and I hope to be a part of it again. Thanks to the show director, her staff & volunteers for doing such a great job.” - Tanya Kirouac</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14pt;">“This show is shooting right back to the top of the Florida heap! Artists are being heard and changes are being made. For me this was a great show with some awesome post show action. Shhhhh!“ - Jay McDougall</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14pt;">“I always refer to the CCAF as a world-class top-tier show. Few art festivals can juggle so many moving parts and still manage to elevate the exhibitors to the absolute highest visibility of the entire event.”</span></div>

I first displayed my work there almost 20 years ago and was there last year. It always attracts a massive educated and engaging crowd that is there to have fun but also to buy art. I always consider myself very lucky when I am accepted to exhibit my artwork at the show and there is nowhere I would rather be that weekend." - Xavier Nuez</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14pt;">“The Coconut Grove Arts Festival, is my favorite and most profitable Art show. Every year, my gross sales have increased over the last. The layout of the show gives everyone a good location. At the Artist oasis, lunches and water are provided to the artists. I look forward to coming down each February to participate in this wonderful show.”</span></div>
