ArtWorks of Eau Gallie Fine Art Festival is an extraordinary experience for all. The community-oriented event features up to 100 artists working in Plein Air. Due to the unique requirement that each artist create works as they exhibit or demonstrate their techniques, this exceptional show consistently attracts serious art collectors and patrons of the arts. The monetary awards have increased steadily since ArtWorks inception in 1996 to $7600 for 2007. Patron purchase awards have increased annually with $4,000 awarded in last year’s ArtWorks. The show involves the Brevard Museum of Art , Brevard Symphony Orchestra, Eau Gallie Public Library, local galleries, and the Brevard Porcelain Artists.
