Neptune Festival Art & Craft Show

Consistently recognized by Sunshine Artist Magazine in the Top 10 of 200 Art Shows in the country, the Neptune Festival Art and Craft Show is one of the many events during Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend. Artists and craftsmen of original work are eligible for the show, with acceptance based on a jury process. This show does not accept food products, body care, recorded music, commercially manufactured, production studio work, buy-sell, kits or imported items.

There is an area of the show devoted to selected exhibitors who work with the highest degree of originality, handcrafting, and excellence. Only those artists are awards-eligible.

The Neptune Festival includes a commercial section that is not part of this Art and Craft Show. For more information on the Boardwalk Marketplace, click here.

The Neptune Festival Art & Craft Show wants to help kids start their very own art collection! Fostering an interest in the arts at a young age is crucial to the development of a well-rounded society. The Young Collectors Art Gallery for Kids will offer children ages 6-12 the opportunity to select a professional work of art to take home for just $5.
