The seventh annual One Daytona Art Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 28 and 29.
The free festival, held in partnership with Gallery500, will host fine artists, craft artisans and entertainment during the weekend at One Daytona, both juried and non-juried, in mediums ranging from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and mixed media, according to a news release.
“This festival transforms One Daytona into a living, breathing canvas,” said Kelly Dispennette, NASCAR’s senior managing director in real estate. “You can watch artists create in real time, discover one-of-a-kind pieces, and enjoy vibrant entertainment all weekend long. The support of art programs at Daytona State College and Volusia County Schools is also a priority for us, the goal is to give students the opportunity to showcase their work alongside professional artists — highlighting the next generation of creative talent in our community.”
This year marks the debut of a Community Paint Project with Save the Arts Movement. Guests of all ages are invited to create collaborative artwork throughout the weekend. The mural will be located on the main boulevard.
Gallery500 will host free live art demonstrations during the festival. There will also be a free kid's zone, student art displays and entertainment at the Victory Circle stage.
Additionally, the festival offers art classes, available for a fee. On Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m., there will be a hands-on workshop titled "The Art of the Stater Sourdough" where participants will learn how to create and care for their own starter. At 2 p.m. that day, "Splash of Color: Watercolor for Beginners" will cover foundational watercolor techniques, color blending and brush control; participants will create a piece to take home.
On Sunday, March 29, at 11 a.m., people can take part in "Handcrafted Clay Earrings" to learn how to create modern jewelry pieces. Then at 2 p.m., the "Crafting Charcuterie" class will teach participants how to create the perfect charcuterie board. To sign up for classes, visit www.onedaytonaartfestival.net/take-a-class.
