Disney World’s International Festival of the Arts Celebrates Star Wars, X-Men ’97, and More

The International Festival of the Arts at Epcot is Walt Disney World’s most underrated festival. It takes place during the off-season when it’s relatively less expensive to visit, and it features a walkable array of art galleries to use up that money you’re saving. If you’re a film art print nerd, the event offers a great way to get your hands on some officially licensed pieces first.

Here’s a round-up of our favorite releases from this year’s festival. These debuts include a selection of art that will be available resort-wide at Walt Disney World, as well as at the Disneyland Resort and on Disney Cruises. However, some art is exclusive to the event with originals painted and sold on-site, like this Skeleton Crew Neel piece—though Star Wars fans need not worry, there are lots of other prints featuring iconic characters from the franchise. Among other featured fandoms you’ll also find pieces inspired by Marvel Studios’ X-Men ’97, Frozen, Disney Princess art, and even Kingdom Hearts. Artists will be on hand on select dates for signings as well.

West Coast folks who can’t make it over to the Epcot fest, fret not. Some of the art will also drop during the Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure. Additionally, some of the featured artists will hold signings there too.
