Last weekend was Disney's Festival of the Masters. A friend went to it last year, and it looked like a lot of fun, so I made the trip to Orlando to check it out. There was a wide variety of exhibits in addition to the art vendors: sidewalk chalk drawings, lego sculptures, hands-on activities, street performers, food. And I had a great time.
Below is more information about the event (from a Disney Press Release), and in entries to follow, I'll post my pictures from the event:
Downtown Disney Becomes Lively Outdoor Gallery During Festival of the Masters, Nov. 9-11
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The lakeside setting of Downtown Disney becomes the canvas for more than 150 artisans to display original creations during the 32nd annual Festival of the Masters at Walt Disney World Resort, Nov. 9-11, 2007.
Festival of the Masters, presented by Sharpie®, is a nationally recognized art show which is ranked among the country's best outdoor art festivals each year.
To qualify for Festival of the Masters, artists must have earned a primary award in a juried art festival within the last three years. Prospective exhibitors submit award verification and samples of their art to a jury of art experts who select the participants. This process ensures that visitors to the Festival will be treated to one of the finest collections of art in the nation.
Sculpture, jewelry, painting, photography, glass, and digital art are just some of the art genres showcased at this year's event. Street painters from the Central Florida Chalk Artists Association will decorate some 6,000 square feet of sidewalk with unique drawings. Youngsters can take in the fun with live music, face painting and interactive kid's zones.

hey! I was at the festival of the masters, and i was in a student group from osceola county school for the arts. my group didnt win, but many many people thought we should have and that we were one of the best. rosalina(?) the italian streetpainter there admired our work as well =) my group did the painting of a woman in a blue dress with black hair. i forgot the title, but it was really long and it was a 19-20th century portrait. hopefully you saw it!!
Thanks ryugurl0083, did you see the sidewalk chalk entry? (http://soneevda.blogspot.com/2007/11/disney-festival-of-masters-sidewalk.html). Is the first picture your work? :)
