History of the
Art Festival
The DeLand Outdoor Art Festival was founded in 1965 by Joe
Elliott President, and Virginia Clausen Vice President. At
that time the festival started out on the sidewalks of down
town DeLand. In 1971 Joe Elliott stepped down as President,
Virginia was elected President and remained President till
her retirement in 1999 where she, Flo Perro & Pat Moyer
became our senior advisors.
In 2000, Virginia’s son
Tom Clausen was elected President, his wife Patty was elected
Vice President and remain the coordinators of the oldest family
run art festival in DeLand’s history. Ann Pascoe, joined
the ladies in 1969 and is still very much involved in the
art festival today as our Registrar.

the mid 70’s the festival moved to the parking lot of
the Barnett Bank building which is now known as the Bank of
America on the corner of Wisconsin Ave. and Woodland Blvd.
