in Disney, Theme Parks, Walt Disney World

The Festival of the Masters was a popular art festival, held in what we today call Disney Springs, that was cancelled in 2014. Now Disney has announced that in the month of August an “Art in August” event will held at Disney Springs Marketplace highlighting popular artists and Disney art. Guests will be able to find Disney artists like Don “Ducky” Williams, handmade treasures including jewelry from Jortra and stationary from Boiled Books, and unique keepsakes such as the latest Precious Moments Dolls from doll designer Linda Rick.
