ABOUT THE EVENT

The first event, which was originally called the Windermere Art Affair, made its debut in 2016. In 2017, the event expanded to two days after its success. 

Proceeds from the event have benefited the town of Windermere, as well as area schools and organizations, such as the Windermere Elementary School’s art department, Olympia High School’s art department, Gotha Middle School, City Arts Factory, The Russell Home and New Hope for Kids.

Windermere Arts, and its events the Windermere Fine Arts Show and the Art, Wine & Music Stroll, are independent from the town of Windermere.
