Deadline: Nov 15, 2025

For over 30 Years the Venice-Nokomis Rotary Club has hosted the most artist friendly Art Festival in South Florida.  Our artists consistently give us great reviews for the support we provide, easy load-in and load-out, enthusiastic crowds, and overnight security.  We attract thousands of attendees with our array of artists, antique/classic automobiles, live music, family fun, tasty food, and drink.  Venice is directly on the Gulf of Mexico and has some of the best beaches in Florida which attract thousands of northerners every winter.  Again, this year we will have a large circus tent as an option for artists who prefer protection from the elements. We will also have a separate area for commercial vendors, non-profits, and others. The Rotary Art Festival has grown in popularity over the past years, and we expect to continue to attract more artists and larger attendance in 2026.

Deadline: Nov 30, 2025

Commercial Vendors of products and goods related to the Venice community. 

Deadline: Nov 15, 2025

Provide description of your mission, the services you offer, and manner in which your organization supports the Venice community.
