The 2012 Buda Fine Arts Festival will feature juried artists from across Texas exhibiting fine art for sale in such media as: oils, pastels, pottery, glass, mixed media, photography, sculpture, acrylics, and fine jewelry. Awards for Best in Show, as well as Peoples Choice awarded to artists. Each year, a featured artist is chosen from artists who apply to be accepted into the show. The 2012 artist is 2011's Best of Show Artist, Steve Green (pictured right). As a high level manager in the high tech world of Silicon Valley, Steve turned to woodturning as a release from the tensions of the day. Upon retiring in 2007, he packed up his shop and moved to a quiet countryside home in Driftwood, Texas. Continuing to wood turn, he was dissatisfied with the simple pieces he created and began experimenting with textures, colors and inlayed mineral crystals to create works of Fine Art. A member of the American Association of Woodturners, the Central Texas Woodturners Association, the Wimberley Valley Art League and the Artist of Dripping Springs, this award-winning artist participates in many of Central Texas' finest art shows, including the Buda Fine Arts Festival. This past year the Buda Fine Arts Committee was named a finalist in the Best Downtown Partner category of the 2011 Texas Downtown Association (TDA) Presidents Awards Program. Since 1998, the Awards Program has recognized more than 150 projects, events and people that make a difference in Texas downtowns. Buda, known for the "World Famous” Wiener Dog Races is located just 15 short miles south of Austin on Interstate 35. Take the Main Street exit, travel about one mile into town!
