Exhibiting Arts
The SoNo Arts Celebration features over 150 exhibiting artists who were selected from approximately 600 entrants. Each artist submitted slides of their work and display booth, and was judged in one of 10 categories: painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, wood, ceramics, jewelry/metalsmithing, fiber, mixed media or glass. Artists were selected based on the quality and originality of their work and how they display it.
Performing Arts
More than 25 performing artists will entertain on three stages throughout the weekend. True to our mission, performers were selected for their originality and present a diverse and eclectic array of talent. In addition to stage performers, there are musicians and children's entertainers in the streets throughout the event.
