Everyone knows that unlike Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival, the Festival of the Arts is for the true Epcot sophisticate. While it rarely receives as much hype as Epcot’s headlining event, it’s truly an amazing festival. Complete with inspired activities, great food, and tons of art to gaze at and fawn over, Epcot’s Festival of the Arts takes the geometric abstraction-inspired cake. While all the booths and concerts do draw in a great deal of people, it’s the artists and their works on display that’s the real draw. That being said, here’s a quick preview of some of the artists that will be on display, as well as some of their featured art!
Artists are located throughout Epcot, but they are grouped into different tents. In this preview, we bring you Disney artists, WonderGround artists, and a special feature from Art of Disney.

My favorite one is by Doug Bolly – Mickey & Minnie at the Polynesian. We will be there next month. If the price is right, I might get it. I am also interested in what Thomas Kinkade Studios has to offer this year.
Great article! Can’t wait to go next week. One not mentioned was a Disney World favorite David Doss!
I want to see “all” the art that’s there. Can we get pics of the tents?
Noted, we’ll work on that
Thanks, Jessica. Everything I’m seeing elsewhere is only about the food! Looking forward to the, you know, ART. :)
