---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artists
exhibiting at Manatee come from across the
United States and represent a wide variety of
media from painting and sculpture to wood
carving, leather, and jewelry. Art buyers
come to see one-of-a-kind pieces exhibited by
exceptional talent. For years our
artist-exhibitors have raved about our
artist-friendly staff and the amenities we
provide. We're known as a "buyer's
show" attracting festival attendees
motivated to purchase art. Friday setups
and 24-hour security provided by sheriff's
deputies are just a few of the bonuses artists
can expect at Manatee!
Enjoy A Sample of
the 2009 Artists' Works!

Food Vendors
This year Manatee has found
exceptional food vendors to serve our diverse
and demanding crowds. We limit our food
court to those who offer food with a wide appeal
- not standard carnival foods. If you'd like to
be considered one of these select vendors for
2010 call or email the Chamber
for more information or an application.
Some of the enticing aromas

Some of our great
food vendors!
Bring your
appetites! We will have our 2010 food
venue up real soon! Still negotiating!
