Mainsail Art Festival

Mainsail Art Festival is a non-profit organization produced by an all-volunteer committee with no paid staff. It is held annually in Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, and is ranked one of the Top 14 Fine Art & Design Shows in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine. The festival presents juried fine art across many categories, including oil and acrylic, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics, jewelry, photography, glass, wood, fibers and graphics. It bestows substantial cash awards to artists, and a Purchase Award program lets individuals and businesses sponsor an artist and add to their own collections. Alongside the artist show, Mainsail offers performing arts, culinary arts and merchandise. Its Young at ARt student exhibition showcases work from students throughout Pinellas County and offers Young Masters scholarships to graduating high school seniors.
