Design Festa is a biannual International Art Event, started in 1994. It is open to all artists from all over the world to exhibit their creative talent freely. 8,500 artists working in a variety of mediums will be present, turning the two day event into artistic chaos! There will be Booth areas(2700 booths), an Outdoor live-show stage, an Indoor stage, a Mini-theater Space and a Restaurant and Cafe/Bar Area, all for your enjoyment during these two days filled with art, energy, excitement and discovery!
Making it big is not easy, even if you are talented. But if many people get together and make an art movement, the possibilities expand infinitely! There are no restrictions, anyone can exhibit if the work is original. For experimentation and an opportunity for the next step in your artistic lives, express your ideas at Design Festa!
