CALL TO ARTISTS

This year the SouthShore Chamber of Commerce will be presenting the 20th Annual Apollo Beach Manatee Festival of the Arts. Our dedication to excellence in selecting quality artists each year has resulted in the development of a well-respected juried show. Our show offers outstanding art for display and sale to the public. We believe our continued commitment to quality will uphold the Apollo Beach Manatee Festival of the Arts as one of the finest arts shows in the Tampa Bay area.  This year we have also substantially increased most award amounts.

The Festival is an innovative showcase of fine arts and fine crafts which draws talent from all across the country. Our exhibitor’s area offers visitors an opportunity to meet and interact with artists to view their works and purchase art from the individual who created it. Additionally, we encourage our exhibitors to demonstrate their work. There is also a Children’s Creativity Center, live mu s i c a l p e r f o rma n c e s , s p e c i a l environmental exhibits, a Culinary Arts program and a free shuttle to the Tampa Electric Manatee Viewing Center to view the gentle manatee in their winter habitat and a variety of foods to tempt any palette.

This is an excellent venue to display and sell art in a relaxed and comfortable setting.
