Windermere Fine Art Show returning next weekend

The Windermere Fine Art Show will return to town come next weekend.

The ninth annual art show will feature more than 85 artists from across the country, as well as their artistic masterpieces. 

The free, pet-friendly event will additionally showcase live entertainment, such as dance performances and a magician, sidewalk chalk artists under the age of 18, and a multitude of food and drink options. 

The art show is hosted by Anne Scharer, Tranquiliti Healing Arts & Wellness.

Windermere Arts Chair Scharer has an enthusiastic passion for the arts and first started the show in 2016 as the Windermere Art Affair.

She said although the show is hard work to put together, the artists are what inspire her to keep putting on the event.

“When I find raw talent that doesn’t recognize the talent they have or that they have an ability, that inspires me,” Scharer said. “When you look back years later at the impact this has … I have artists reach out to me and thank me for helping to build them up and saying that I’ve inspired them, when really they’ve inspired me. I want them to know what they’re capable of.”

Sponsors for the event include the EVO team at The Real Estate Collection, The First Academy, Edward Jones, K2 Medical Research, Quality Craftsmen and Southern Epoxy Solutions.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 9, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 10, at Windermere Town Hall, 520 Main St., Windermere.
