Experience the Magic of Art in the Heart of Gainesville
Get ready for a weekend of art and fun as Thornebrook’s Fall Arts Festival returns for its 40th year. This Gainesville tradition will once again transform the picturesque Shoppes At Thornebrook into a vibrant hub of creativity and culture.
Many of your favorite artists will be returning and we will welcome some new faces too! Kiss 105.3 will be broadcasting live on site both days! Activities include FREE Sparkling Hair Fairies provided by Trinity's Day Spa and FREE Face Painting as well!
Art on display includes painting, sculpture, photography, glass works, fiber arts, wood carvings, pottery, jewelry, and more.
The show is laid out to take advantage of the ambiance and convenience of the Shoppes at Thornebrook Village and its stores, restaurants, and other amenities.
Dining options include Thornebrook favorites: Bageland, Esperanza's, Mini Momo, and Thornebrook Chocolates. There will be additional food truck vendors as well!
