How this works:
Pre register online anytime before Monday October 6, 2025 to be a “Featured Artist.” Email a photo of yourself or an example of your work to info@mdca.org and we will add you to our website. This is optional. You do not need to submit material to register early.
Check-in at MDCA 847 E 5th Ave to get your mediums officially stamped Fri Oct 10 between 9AM and 5PM in the gallery. You can also get stamped Mon Oct 13 – Fri Oct 17 9AM until 5PM. No max size this year! (two submissions allowed for judging but you can get more than two stamped for the gallery sale)
Venture anywhere in Mount Dora, FL. Try places like the iconic lighthouse, seek a quiet setting along waterfront, Palm Island park, or grab a spot along the bustling sidewalks of the downtown shops to set up and PAINT!
Paint on location from dawn to dusk and return your artwork to the Art Center anytime during the week before Saturday October 18 at 12PM. We will award 1st ($100), 2nd ($75), and 3rd ($50) place prizes at 5PM in the MDCA gallery Saturday October 18. A People’s Choice award will be given on Sunday October 26 after tallying votes from gallery guests during the Mount Dora Craft Fair.
