A wave of beautiful art to wash over Las Olas this weekend!

On October 24 & 25 the Las Olas Art Festival will return for its 22nd year. An annual fall tradition in downtown Fort Lauderdale, this event has been ranked as one of the top 100 art festivals in the nation by a leading art publication.

Like all Howard Alan events, the Las Olas Fall Art Fair is a juried show, which means each participating artist is hand-selected from hundreds of applicants to ensure a first-class festival with only the highest quality, original artwork. All exhibiting artists are required to be at the festival the entire weekend giving visitors the unique opportunity to meet the creators of the art on display; commission a specific piece; ask questions about techniques; learn the sources of their inspirations; and purchase fine works of art at affordable prices. All of the work on display is available for purchase, and with prices ranging from $15 earrings to $50 prints to $20,000 sculptures.
