(formerly known as the Longleaf Fine Arts on the Village Green)
We've been asked, "Why was the event renamed?" Quite simply, we have outgrown the Longleaf Green and are moving the event to a new, larger location minutes from the Suncoast Expressway. The new name reflects that this is now a regional event which draws arts patrons from the entire Tampa Bay area.
Plus, we've done MUCH more than just rename the show.
The following changes will make this event a "must visit" show for art lovers all over Tampa Bay.
A Fine Auto show area by our sponsor Ferman Fine Autos
80 Juried Visual Artists and Craftsmen of high quality
"Taste of Pasco" food venue with beer and wine available
Live music sponsored by WMNF
Technology Center including Sponsor Expo area
Emerging Artists Area (10th grade through 12th grade)
Cafe' Pasco
Entertainment area
The Suncoast Arts Fest is a production of The Fine Arts of the Suncoast, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission to "promote cultural awareness in Pasco County." Proceeds from the event go to "Art for Kids in Pasco County" and help supplement funding for arts education in schools. To ensure the funds go where most needed, art teachers serve on the funding advisory committee.
