One of the most popular features of the annual Mandarin Art Festival is the Children's Art Show. Held inside the Mandarin Community Club building, work from over a dozen local public and private elementary and middle schools are on display and judged in several different categories.

As a reminder, the Children's Art Show ends approximately an hour before the art festival closes on Easter Sunday to allow ample time for artwork to be taken down and picked up by teachers. The Children's Art Show runs on Sunday from 10 AM - 3 PM with breakdown starting around 2:45 PM.

One of the most outstanding achievements of the Mandarin Community Club, a local non-profit organization, is the annual Mandarin Art Festival held every Easter weekend since 1968. Founded in 1968 by Judge Westberry and a group of local artists, it's the longest running event of its kind in northeast Florida.  The Mandarin Art Festival, a high-quality juried fine art event, enjoys thousands of visitors who return year after year for their favorite artists or to see the array of creations by artists new to the festival.  The show is a vital funding source for the Mandarin Community Club's preservation, education and beautification work in the Mandarin community.
