The Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts (“the Festival”) is accepting applications from artists for participation in the festival, set to occur on March 2 and 3, 2024. The Festival welcomes applications from local, national and international artists. Each year, a team of jurors invites up to 235 artists to present and sell their work to the 30,000+ people who attend the two-day event. On festival weekend, the Festival Awards Juror and Selection Jurors will review all participating artists and award up to 40 with prizes of at least $1,000, including the $15,000 Raymond James Best-in-Show award.

In response to artist feedback, GFA will institute a new jury and awards process in 2024. To review this process, all festival rules and to apply, visit www.GasparillaArts.com/application-rules.
