MORE INFORMATION:
This year, Bonita Springs National is under the leadership of Richard Sullivan. Sullivan brings over 25 years of art curation, festival direction and nonprofit leadership to Arts Bonita. As a seasoned professional in event development and operations management, he has successfully organized and directed nationally recognized outdoor art shows throughout Southwest Florida as founder and owner of Boulderbrook Productions.
Under Sullivan’s direction, the festival layout has been redesigned with artists in mind. Each artist now enjoys a space and a half, allowing for greater visibility and more dynamic presentations.
The festival footprint has also been condensed to one side of the street, creating a more walkable, enclosed environment where every visitor has the opportunity to see every artist without leaving the festival grounds.
Visit https://artsbonita.org/artfest-gallery-show1/ for information and booth location of each artist participating in this weekend’s show.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
While admission is free, donations are requested at the gate, with those funds directly supporting underserved children. Arts Bonita awards more than $250,000 annually in scholarships and arts education programs.
Arts Bonita organizes three festivals each season. Bonita Springs National will return to Riverside Park on the weekends of Feb. 7-8 and March 14-15.
