J.K. Designs' Principal and Executive Director of the National Sculptors' Guild's John Kinkade will be in Winter Park, Florida for the long anticipated judging of the 62nd Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. The festival was cancelled last year due to the Corona Virus, so the artists who were juried in were invited back to exhibit this year. These artist's are eager to show and sell their creations: while John and the two other judges are excited to select and present the 63 artist awards that total $74,500.
John is honored to have been invited to judge this exceptional art festival and we hope those in the area will get a chance to view the exhibit, plus experience the many other activities offered, like Music and Food, the Children’s Workshop and the Leon Theodore Schools Exhibit.... click here to learn more.
