Our Story
What started in 1973 with just 20 artists and a single gallery has grown into one of the most beloved art events in the Southeast. Today, Art Festival Beth-El showcases over 170 national and international award-winning artists across six galleries throughout our beautiful facility.
We are an invitational, juried indoor and outdoor exhibition and sale of original artwork, including paintings, photography, mixed media, glass, sculpture, metal, wood, ceramics, and jewelry, selected with care to offer visitors an exceptional gallery-quality experience.
Year after year, the festival draws over 10,000 visitors from Tampa Bay and beyond, and the energy never gets old. Our Outdoor Sculpture Garden is a perennial favorite, featuring striking and imaginative pieces perfect for gardens, offices, and large spaces. The Boutique gallery offers a wonderful selection of fine art at accessible price points, so there truly is something for everyone.
One of the things we're most proud of: each year we celebrate the next generation of artists. Selected works by talented emerging artists from Pinellas County's 17 public and private high schools are showcased at the festival, and scholarship money is awarded to the schools of our winning students. The future of art is bright, and we love being a part of it.
