Short Description
Art Harvest is a yearly tradition for the Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin. It began as a small sidewalk craft show. Today it is the largest juried fine arts show in the Tampa Bay area. Over 200 artists convene at Highlander Park in Dunedin each year to show and sell their one-of-a-kind art.
Art Harvest is a tradition for the Tampa Bay community as well. Over 30,000 patrons return each year to find their favorite artists, purchase holiday gifts, enjoy food and fall weather.
The Junior League of Clearwater – Dunedin’s Art Harvest is the primary funding source for our mission of training women to be leaders in our community and community outreach. The League’s current focus will be mental health in North Pinellas County.
