Preview 2013 showcases a fascinating look into the world of the innovative and fresh new artwork of eleven prestigious artists from Orange County. These eleven exhibitors were recently juried into the Festival of Arts by a panel of seven knowledgeable artists and/or art experts to assure patrons the finest art experience that they expect from the show. These artists display the variety, personality, and atmosphere that will be available at the Festival of Arts all summer long, and will round out 140 artists for 2013.
Director of Exhibits, Education and Permanent Collections, Ron Morrissette commented, “I am excited to welcome this new group of artists to the Festival of Arts. The quality of their work is outstanding and diverse. The show at Wells Fargo is an excellent sampling of what guests can expect to see this summer.”
