The Downtown Venice Art Festival is produced by Howard Alan Events.

The festival’s location, Venice Avenue, is known for its boutiques, eateries, parks and green spaces. It is the site of concerts, arts and craft shows and various special events.

Fun fact: Venice is known as the "Shark's Tooth Capital of The World." Each year, the town hosts a Shark's Tooth Festival to celebrate the abundance of fossilized shark teeth that can be found on its shores. In addition to finding shark teeth on its beaches, many large-size teeth can be found freediving off the coast or by excavating in the many shell deposits that are left over from the dredging of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Support for WGCU’s arts & culture reporting comes from the Estate of Myra Janco Daniels, the Charles M. and Joan R. Taylor Foundation, and Naomi Bloom in loving memory of her husband, Ron Wallace.
