CLEARWATER- November 2, 2009- The Tampa Bay area’s largest fall arts festival, Art Harvest, is this weekend! Several hundred artists from all over the country will display their works this Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Highlander Park in Dunedin. For over 46 years, Art Harvest has been a family tradition, thanks to unique art and beautiful Florida weather.
The Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin hopes to raise at least $100,000 from this event. This money will create positive change in the local community. Celebrating over 60 years in Pinellas County, the League has raised funds for notable projects such as the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, UPARC Foundation, The Rick Pitino High Point Center, and the F.U.N. Bus, which has provided field trip transportation for over 50,000 area public school children. Currently, the League’s focus is on public awareness and support of the foster care system in Pinellas and Pasco Counties.
Juan Ramirez Cotrino, this year’s featured artist, brings his unique style of precise lines and the pure use of color as seen in traditional Latin American art. Juan transforms passion into art by embracing life and the spirit reflecting his thoughts and feelings in a path of connection to life itself and n ature consists. These characteristics give each of Juan’s paintings a strong compositional movement, varying from surrealism to figurative to even a touch of abstract. Juan uses symbols in his paintings to represent our lives as dream- like experiences and his palette varies from Oils to Acrylic to Mixed Media.
Admission is Free. Parking is $5 at the Park. Kids visiting the Children’s Tent will have the chance to create free, age appropriate crafts to take home and enjoy.
Sponsors to date include: Publix Super Market Charities, Target, T. Rowe Price, Bright House Networks, St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Bay Magazine. For More information, call the Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin’s Headquarters at 727-738-5523.
