Heritage Arts Application

Heritage Arts Application

The Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival (GGAF) Heritage Arts area is always an extremely popular area offering learning and sharing experiences combined with the unique artistry of objects crafted as they were in times past. Located in the Historic Pensacola Village, GGAF Heritage Arts area is nestled along Zaragoza Street and on the grounds of historic buildings.

Applications are online this year.

Due to alterations that have been made to the Heritage Arts area along Zaragoza Street, some changes have been made to the layout of the booth spaces. This has resulted in fewer artist spaces available this year.
