Mercato Art Celebration 2027 4th Annual

The 4th Annual Mercato Art Celebration is an outdoor fine-art show held on the closed streets of Mercato in Naples, Florida, on January 23–24, 2027. The page gives conflicting submission deadlines: September 16, 2026 in Key Dates, but September 30, 2026 in its reminder and footer language. Artists are juried using submitted images, and accepted work must conform to those images.

Submit at least four images. Artwork must be original and designed and executed by the applying artist. Booths are limited to one exhibiting artist, although collaborating artists may share a booth with approval if all collaborators and their roles are identified. Commercial agents, dealers, manufacturers, and buy/sell vendors are prohibited. Ineligible work includes artwork from commercial molds, patterns, kits, or volume-production studios; embellished ready-made clothing or furniture; copyright-violating copies; and posters, laser prints, T-shirts, postcards, calendars, cards, or promotional items. The application fee is $39 and the late application fee is $50. Artists must carry at least $1 million in general liability insurance, name Naples Picasso Events as an additional insured, and provide a Certificate of Insurance no later than four weeks before the show. Displayed work must match the submitted images and is subject to inspection. Artists who fail to register by 7:00 am on the first day forfeit their booth without a refund. The page conflicts on the submission deadline, stating September 16, 2026 in Key Dates and September 30, 2026 elsewhere.
