ArtsQuest — a fine arts festival produced by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) — announced that it will have a new home this year in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin. The 26th annual ArtsQuest festival is scheduled for May 11-13, 2014.

“We’re excited to find a home in a central South Walton location that embraces the spirit of ArtsQuest,” said Jennifer Steele, executive director of the CAA. “With accommodations, restaurants, sidewalks, spacious lawns and ample parking, Grand Boulevard will provide ideal logistics for our festival which continues to grow from year to year.”

CAA released a call for all interested artists to apply for the juried festival before February 21, 2014. Visit the ArtsQuest website to apply now.

Grand Boulevard is already home to South Walton Fashion Week, South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival and the Best of the Emerald Coast — events that bring thousands of guests to the area.

“ArtsQuest exemplifies the type of first-class cultural event that is a perfect fit for Grand Boulevard,” said Stacey Brady, director of marketing and public relations for Grand Boulevard. “We are very excited to provide a happy new home for the festival and look forward to working closely with the CAA to present an amazing art show.”
