The 21st Annual Las Olas Art Fair
 
21stAnnual Las Olas Art Fair Offers $15 Million Of Art On October 4th & 5th. It seems like just yesterday that I met art fair Impresario Howard Alan. He had produced his first art fair for the Las Olas Association and it was a big hit with the visitors and merchants… Here it is 21 years later, and he not only produces three art fairs a year on Las Olas, he’s become known as “The King of Art”.
As the country’s largest promoter of art and craft shows, Howard Alan Events has produced some of the nation’s finest juried art shows, including more than 40 venues throughout the country each year such as the Downtown Aspen Art Festival, Beaver Creek Art Festival, Downtown Naples Art Festival, Chicago Tribune Magnificent Mile Art Festival, Las Olas Art Fair, and many more.Â
The group’s founders personally select unique, culture rich cities for their show locations providing a complete out-door experience unmatched by other festivals. Each show is unique with works of new and upcoming artists as well as established artists.
This year, the Las Olas Art Fair celebrates its 21st anniversary on October 4th and 5th on Las Olas Boulevard between S.E. 6th Avenue and S.E. 11th Avenue, where the streets are closed to vehicular traffic.  In those two days, Las Olas is transformed into a first-class outdoor art showcase complete with 150 artists and $15 million in artwork available for sale. Admission is free and open to the public.
“We are looking forward to painting the town with 15 million dollars of art,” said The King of Art Howard Alan. Produced by Howard Alan Events, the Las Olas Art Fair is one of the top outdoor art festivals in the country.
In order to ensure a superior art event with only the highest quality of original artwork, the Las Olas Art Fair is a juried art show in which all of the local and national artists have been hand-selected from hundreds of applicants.Â
Whether you are a casual art enthusiast, festival-goer or avid collector, there is something for everyone. From $25 hand-designed earrings and $50 prints, to $20,000 metal sculptures, original artwork will cover a full spectrum of mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, glass, ceramics, mixed media and more.
Unlike a typical gallery setting, all of the artists will be at the festival with their artwork, giving visitors the opportunity to talk with the artists, learn about their art and what inspires them, and of course purchase or commission original pieces.
