In May, the 2020 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the unlikelihood of mass gatherings this summer. It had a tremendous impact not only to the organization, but to the juried exhibitors whose livelihood and careers depend on this popular annual event. Determined to fulfill its mission and support local artists, the Festival decided to look towards digital and created its first virtual exhibit. This interactive, cyber-exhibition features nine galleries with up to 17 different artists in each gallery.

Encouraging exploration and discovery of art, foaVIRTUAL features a wide variety of media including paintings, photography, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, handcrafted wood and furniture, ceramics, glass and more. All the artwork is available for purchase from the artist, and just like the Festival’s summer fine art show, 100% of each sale goes directly to the exhibitor.

Virtual guests may self-navigate around the gallery or take a guided art tour and are encouraged to read the artists bios to learn more about their backgrounds and careers in art. Those that prefer a quick overview of all the pieces in the gallery, may click on the digital catalog for a full list of art featured in the specific gallery.
