21st Festival of the Arts

Recognized as one of Northwest Florida’s premier fine art shows, the 21st Annual Festival of the Arts, hosted by The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation, welcomes more than 100 artists from across the United States and Europe to the beautiful beaches of Destin to showcase their art and to compete for $10,000 in cash prizes.
