New The Art Corner store opens at Disney Springs

A new store featuring artists that will create art just for you opened today in the Marketplace area of Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort.

The Art Corner by Artistic Talent Group brings together work from a variety of artists and produces original work including classic watercolor caricatures, digital caricatures, hand-drawn names and artistic marbling.

The original Art Corner was a concept of Walt Disney in the early years of Disneyland. There was a small pop-up at the end of Main Street before given a permanent location in Tomorrowland. The store featured animators sketching characters, landscapes, and Disneyland icons in full view of the public.

The Disney Springs location was most recently a pop-up gallery featuring the art of Greg McCullough. 

This store will include:

Artists creating caricatures. Caricatures have been a guest favorite at Walt Disney World for decades, and new, innovative digital caricatures offer a twist on this beloved art form.

Name Works. The popular provider of personalized artwork, Name Works, now has a new location inside The Art Corner, complementing its other locations across Walt Disney World. Hand-drawn names are created and personalized with illustrations of guests’ favorite items, including select animated characters.

Artistic marbling. The interactive, hands-on artistic marbling activity that debuted at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts in 2018, is now included in The Art Corner. This customizable experience allows guests to learn the ancient art form of Suminigashi, working side by side with a professional artisan to create custom-made silk items. Each piece is designed with specific colors and patterns selected by participating guests.

“Coffee & Canvas” gallery by Steven Mikel. This Coconut Creek, Fla. artists focuses on revealing the overlooked or unnoticed beauty tucked away in the details of the world around us, Mikel paints exclusively using different varieties of coffee – with each painting often requiring between 60 to 150 brewed cups.
