The ONE DAYTONA Art Festival offers an opportunity for local and visiting collectors to experience culture and refinement over the course of two days with high-end artists, crafters, live art at Gallery500, and cash prizes for winning artists.  Featuring juried fine artists and non-juried fine craft artisans, the ONE DAYTONA Art Festival in partnership with Gallery500 is held at the ONE DAYTONA lifestyle and entertainment destination.  

In an exciting addition to this year’s lineup, attendees will have the opportunity to meet world renowned marine wildlife artist, Guy Harvey, Saturday, April 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Gallery500.
