Tamiami Spring Art & Craft Show returns March 11th & 12th

Blue Ribbon Events presents the 3rd annual Tamiami Spring Art & Craft Show March 11/12, 2023. Open from 10am to 5pm daily. Admission is FREE to the public. Featuring painters, wood workers, quirky yard art, jewelry, bath & body products, digital art, pottery, candles, mixed media, upcycled art and so many other refreshing creations. Come out to support artisans and find the perfect new wall art, functional art or tourist take home treasures.

Local southwest Florida mixed media Tammy uses many techniques encompassing fluid art styles, brushwork and the use of palette knives and tools for texture. Canvas, wood panels, tiles, glass and even lazy Susans come alive with soothing abstract art using acrylic paints, acrylic inks, resin and texture gels.

Simge Tuneli has chosen traditional handicraft methods and combined it with old Turkish art, known as marbling (Ebru) to create unique leather pieces. Each piece of leatherwork is hand cut, dyed, finished and stitched and then artfully crafted into functional art through the marbling technique. Simge explores the temporal nature of life by emulating a constant state of change, cause, effect, and reaction through texture, color, and movement. Painterly techniques focus on these reflections to address an interactive, dynamic relationship that emerges. Canvas, paper, paints, leather, and paint skins are incorporated.

Lisa Rumberger has mastered the art of furoshiki. This perfectly engineered piece of Japanese design, with a twist, turns a sheet of fabric into not only art but a useful everyday object, and a piece of traditional Japanese history. Bright, fun, eye popping fabrics, transition nicely from the beach to an evening out. The Furoshiki bag is an eco-friendly solution to our contemporary plastic problem.
