21st  Annual Hobe Sound Festival of the Arts Returns February 5 – 6

200+ national artists and craft artisans line Dixie Highway during two-day art experience

Hobe Sound is set to welcome more than 200 artists and skilled craft artisans during the 21st Annual Hobe Sound Festival of the Arts on February 5 – 6. The free, outdoor happening features hundreds of gallery-style booths filled with every medium of fine art lining Dixie Highway from Bridge Road to Venus Street. Comprised of both a fully juried art fair and a vetted craft fair, the popular event hosts local and national artists and craft artisans on site each day from 10 am to 5 pm. 

Residents and visitors are invited to stroll amidst life-size sculptures, spectacular paintings, one-of-a-kind jewels, photography, ceramics and more from the artists who are on site to discuss their inspirations and processes for each hand-made work. Parking is free and pets on leashes are always welcomed. Free parking and trolley service to the show for all festival visitors is at the Pine School, 12350 SE Federal Hwy, Hobe Sound, FL 33455. 

The Hobe Sound Festival of the Arts is presented by the Hobe Sound Chamber and produced by Howard Alan Events (HAE), producer of the nation’s finest juried art shows. The Hobe Sound Festival of the Arts represents original artwork, handmade in America and selected by an independent panel of expert judges from hundreds of applicants. HAE’s careful vetting process also ensures a wide array of mediums and price ranges will be offered during the Festival. Craft artisans, selected through American Craft Endeavors (ACE), offer affordable, original and practical works including a full green market of edible and living ornamental items.
