ArtsQuest Fine Arts & Music Festival continues the tradition of hosting an array of fine artists and music for a special Mother’s Day weekend event.

• This year’s ArtsQuest poster artist is Juan Francisco Adaro, a contemporary painter born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and currently living in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. One artist is chosen each year to be the featured ArtsQuest artist. Adaro’s painting was selected to represent the annual festival in all marketing materials.
