T

he 30th annual ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival took place at Grand Boulevard over 
Mother’s Day weekend. The juried show and fi ne arts festival brought together a 
slew of national and local artists ranging in different categories. On display were 
artists in the categories of ceramics, fi ber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, oils 

& acrylics, original digital art, photography, sculpture, wood, and works on paper (watercolor, 
printmaking, pastels, pencils, ink). The artists had the opportunity to showcase their work 
at one of the biggest art festivals in the South. During the event ArtsQuest provided an 
opportunity to the public to view and purchase original art from over 200 of the artists who 
were participating in the festival. 

The organizer of this great event was Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County. They are a 

local arts agency that supports the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs, and 
education, with vision to be the catalyst for Walton County’s growth as a destination for cultural 
and artistic excellence through which lives are enriched, economy is stimulated and community is 
strengthened.
