ArtFest Fort Myers, Inc. Reviews

Shame on you Ft. Myers! You took an event that was always FREE to walk around in and after a horrendous year of sickness and people losing their jobs and just wanting to get out and take in some beautiful art and craftsmanship, you have the nerve to now charge $10???? You lost me which is a shame because it s the exhibitors who lose out! That was $20 I wouldn t have spent with the people who really deserve it so I guess you actually saved me hundreds of dollars today because of your outrageous admission fee! You do this with all of your events and I just refuse to support YOU rather than the vendors!

Wonderful Artist for all over the US. Variety of prices from souvenirs to very high end amazing Art. Taking creativity to new heights...

Large, varied participants. Juried show. Will definitely go back next year.

Would be nice to buy tickets at gate. Absolute awful way to go about things. I feel bad for the artist. I wanted to purchase art. But could not get in. Also the staff helping was not very friendly.

Lots of beautiful art to look at, but sadly most was too pricey for me to actually purchase. Although very attractive, I didn t need a $98 hummingbird feeder, or numerous $2-3,000 pieces of jewelry. Also, the beverage vendors were few and far beyond, so bring your own! Virtually no place to sit, and the pavement is very uneven, so if you have disabilities beware. A big plus was that the nearby parking garage allowed you to pay the $10 fee upon entering, which helped speed up the exit.

So many great artists! Plan to spend the day next year; Feb 1 & 2, 2020.

Excellent day walking the streets in the beautiful sun observing fantastic varied art. Makes you glad you live in Fort Myers this time of year!

Excellent art show. Well juried, and a nice assortment of media. Saw some fantastic artists we hadn't run across for quite a while. The location for the show is easy to get to, and parking is easy if you don't try to get too close. Walking a little pays off

Always a fun day's outing in downtown Ft. Myers. Vendors vie for booths to show their wares so you get to browse only the best of the best.

Visited ArtFest today in Fort Myers. I'm sure some of the art was very nice but it was so crowded today that I couldn't even see it. You literally couldn't even walk down the street and forget about trying to get into a tent to see the artists work. :( Way too many people just walking around (with no intent on patronizing the artists) because they had nothing better to do. I would strongly suggest charging $15 entry fee to keep most these "spectators" from crowding the event.
