From the Organizer
LeMoyne's Chain of Parks Art Festival, in its 24th year, is the Big Bend Region's premiere outdoor fine art festival. Outdoor festival with Artists in the Parks on April 20-21, 2024. Located in downtown Tallahassee along Park Avenue, just east of Monroe Street, the festival is free and open to the public. Visitors view and purchase amazing one-of-a-kind works from 150 fine artists from all over the US while enjoying a weekend of fun, fine art, local culinary delights, children’s pop-up art studios, community partners and live entertainment. Art, culture and local heritage abound at the festival with reenactments of Jacques Le Moyne, the first European artist to visit Florida and sketch images of the natives and local flora and fauna, pop-up studios for children and adults to experience making art, the community's best entertainers on the stage and much more. Our 2024 Presenting Artists at FSU's Opening Nights is Dean Mitchell, the fifth in a series of artists who share their journey in becoming recognized for their excellence in the visual arts.
