Your Activity Guide to the 2019 Festival of the Arts

In January the Festival of the Arts returns to Epcot and we are over the moon! Especially since everyone’s favorite troublemaker is back front and center for the festivals the third year… and really, is there a better mascot for this creative festival than Figment?  We don’t think so! This year the Festival will run from January 18- February 25, 2019.

Enjoy a month-long celebration of art in all its various forms with special focus on the visual, culinary, and performing arts! No matter your tastes there is something for everyone at the Festival of the Arts. You’re definitely going to want to be here!

Our favorite aspects of the festival are all of the hands-on activities that are available during the festival. Best part? Unlike other Epcot festivals, many of these activities are included in your park admission! (Though do keep in mind, the workshops are offered at an extra cost Prices vary by workshop) Check out the list of all the fun ways to get involved:

-Everyone’s invited to grab a paintbrush and help create a wall mural along World Showcase Plaza.
-At the Artful Photo Opportunities, you can step inside masterworks of art and take photos with friends.
-The Paint with a Disney Artist program invites guests to learn under the tutelage of a professional (offered select Fridays and Sundays, including continental breakfast, for an additional fee).
-Performing artists are scheduled throughout the festival, demonstrating gravity-defying feats of strength, acrobatics, and many other skills.
International musical and variety acts will share their talents with guests, including the return of Bodh’aktan to the Canada stage and Delta Q, a new group performing in Germany.
-Figments Brush With the Masters Scavenger Hunt joins in the fun by purchasing a map at select merchandise locations and hunt for Figment who has mischievously hidden in the classic world of art!  
–A variety of workshops led by professionals will teach different artistic techniques, such as floral design, ink and paint, mixed-media art and more (offered Friday-Monday for an additional fee). As a memento of what they learn, guests will take their creations home with them. Details on workshop registration
will be released soon.
-Complimentary 30-minute seminars will give guests helpful instruction for producing their own artwork at home.
