From over 400 applications, 156 of Florida’s outstanding artists were selected to display their works in eight different categories, including ceramics, drawings and graphics, fiber, fine crafts, jewelry, painting, photography and sculpture. Prize money awarded by festival judges in 2014 will exceed $16,000.

A portion of the proceeds from the beer garden will benefit Chamber Cares, the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce’s philanthropic effort. Throughout the festival, attendees will continue to enjoy live musical entertainment on the Central Park Stage, children’s activities led by instructors from The Crealdé School of Art, food vendors and a sidewalk sale at local merchants.

| Commissioner Steven Leary | Thursday, September 12 | |
| Commissioner Carolyn Cooper | Thursday, October 17 | |
| Commissioner Tom McMacken | Thursday, November 21 | |
