2014 Festival of the Masters Cancelled Due to Disney Springs Construction

POSTED: Tue, 09/02/2014 - 05:00 | POSTED BY: Traci C.

This year's Festival of the Masters has been cancelled due to the ongoing construction at Downtown Disney.

The three-day art festival has been housed in Downtown Disney's West Side, but Disney recently announced that the festival will not be held this year as that area is unavailable due to the expansion construction.

This would have marked the 39th year of the Festival of the Masters. Last year's even featured more than 300 artists showcasing photography, painting, glasswork, sculptures, and more.

The artists who were planning on participating in this year's festival have been contacted by Disney and their registration fees have been refunded.

Downtown Disney is in the midst of a lengthy expansion project that is transforming the area into Disney Springs. The expansion project is expected to be completed in 2016.

There is no word yet as to whether or not the Festival of the Masters will return to Downtown Disney/Disney Springs next year.

I hope that it will return next year in an even more lovely Disney Springs!
