2 – 100+ Visiting Artists Share Their Work During the Festival
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts boasts more than 100 talented artists over the course of the 46-day event, featuring pieces in a wide variety of styles and disciplines. Guests can explore Festival Markets throughout the park to purchase new discoveries and, in some cases, meet the artists in person. This part of the festival really makes it stand out from the other festivals at EPCOT. It’s such an amazing experience to be able to not only meet a Disney artist but have them sign their work of art for a very special keepsake.
