Sebastian Fine Arts and Music Festival
Sebastian Fine Arts and Music is a nonprofit organization created by Lisanne Robinson -who passed away in June 2018 from thyroid cancer- whose primary goal is to promote appreciation and interest in arts and spread cultural awareness and enhancement through public exhibitions and performances within Sebastian and its surrounding areas. This festival encourages creative skills in children through grants and scholarships within the school system. This festival is held on the East coast next to the India River in the beautiful Riverview Park in sunny Sebastian, Florida. Over 100 professional craftsmen and artists line up for the annual Sebastian Fine Art and Music Festival.
The festival chooses up to three artists to participate in the festival as Emerging Artists. This festival was created so that aspiring artists can demonstrate their work in a professional art show environment. Applications are open to people who have never participated in a juried art show.
Sebastian Fine Arts and Music Festival is a two-day event with 130+ participants showcasing their handmade craftsmanship and fine art. A jury rates this festival, and it features live music, food, vendors, and entertainment for all ages. This event has no cost as it is nonprofit, so admission is free for everyone.
