The Southeast’s most popular
tourist destination overflows with artistic talent when
Gatlinburg presents its Fine Arts Festival
during the end of May. The event will be held on the
aquarium plaza and River Road, along the banks of the
Little Pigeon River, in the center of downtown
Gatlinburg. Over 60 artists from around the country will
display their work, which span 17 different types of
media including sculpture, basketry, ceramics, painting,
photography, digital art, jewelry, and mixed media. If
you are an avid art collector or an admirer of art, then
you need to come to Gatlinburg for the Fine Arts
Festival. While you’re here, stay with us at Cabins For
You, the best cabin rental in Gatlinburg!
Karl Thomas, director of marketing
for Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, said that the pool
of featured artists was handpicked from artists around
the country. There were more than 130 applicants for the
festival, but critics who formed a panel decided which
was the best of the best. You can purchase almost all of
the art on display as well!
The festival will also feature live
music and food vendors that will exemplify local quality
foods. Proceeds for the event will benefit Arrownaut
School of Arts and Crafts and the Sevier County Arts
Council. There will be awards given to first, second,
and third-place winners in the 2-D and 3-D categories.
So, if you have any art that you think is excellent then
bring it to the next Fine Arts Festival to try to top
the other competition!
