The Festival of the Arts event at Disney’s EPCOT is an immersive experience that lets Guests explore various local and international arts with three main categories, including culinary arts, performing arts, and the visual arts. When thinking about this exciting event, it makes sense for it to take place at Disney World’s EPCOT Park as EPCOT itself is a celebration of which Disney describes as an amazing, immersive tour of artists from around the world. One special fan-favorite artist has just announced their return to this festival.
Jerrod Maruyama, a veteran designer for Disney at this point, has just announced that they will be coming back next year for EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts. They will be located WonderGround Gallery at the Park. To announce their return, Jerrod Maruyama showed off one of the four new pieces that Guests will be able to purchase from them, and if you’re an avid Orange Bird lover you really won’t want to miss this!
