The 2022 Florida CraftArt Festival will be held Nov. 19-20 at Florida Craft Art, located at 501 Central Ave.

The two-day, juried, outdoor festival attracts thousands of art lovers from across the Tampa Bay Area to interact with and buy directly from artists.

The seven fine craft categories include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, wood and mixed media. Drawings, paintings, photography and other commercially-made work are not eligible.
