The upcoming EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will run from January 14 through February 21, 2022. The festival will have many returning favorite activities, plus two new food studios.
There will be fifteen food studios in total. Deco Delights and The Craftman’s Courtyard will debut this year, featuring “artfully presented cuisine and beverages as visually appealing as they are delicious.”
Guests can also join the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine – a food stroll highlighting five sweet and savory offerings listed in the Festival Passport. Once guests have purchased and received a stamp for all five items, they’ll earn an Artist Palette Cookie.
The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will return, with three shows each evening headlined by Broadway stars performing beloved songs from more than 25 years of award-winning stage productions. Beginning Dec. 14, guests can visit ArtfulEPCOT.com to find out more about DISNEY ON BROADWAY Dining Packages that pair with this memorable concert series.
Visual art comes to life in a variety of ways at the festival, too. More than 100 Disney and visiting artists will showcase their works throughout EPCOT. Guests can spot artists at work from the Disney Artist Gallery and the WonderGround Gallery, accompanied by pieces from ACME Archives, Thomas Kinkade Studios, Wyland Galleries, and POP Gallery.
Guests of all ages can watch imaginative chalk artists create masterpieces at Chalk Art Galleries, or improve their own artistic skills by learning how to draw a Disney Character at Animation Academy. Children can create their own chalk masterpieces at Kid’s Chalk Art and families can leave their artistic stamp on a larger-than-life mural at Expression Section: A Paint by Numbers Mural. Around World Showcase, guests can step into renowned paintings from centuries past in stunning Artful Photo Ops. When it’s time to recharge their creative energy, guests can sit back and watch Visual Art in Performance, as an artist paints favorite Disney Characters in a matter of minutes.
This year’s festival merchandise collection will once again feature Figment.
