    FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (December 14, 2022) Artist Marvin “Murf” Murphy began his full-time career as a professional artist during the first year of the now-iconic Las Olas Art Fair. He continued showcasing his paintings with each Howard Alan Events festival, selling enough to eventually raise four children, and support the family through their respective college years. Now, Murf will be joined by his daughters Tyler, Kelsi, Brittany and Alanna as exhibiting artists during the return of the Las Olas Art Fair (Part I) on January 7 – 8, 2023.

Presented by Howard Alan Events (HAE), the nation’s largest producer of outdoor art festivals, the Fair features sculpture, jewelry, woodwork, paintings,

The free, outdoor pet-friendly event features a fully vetted, juried selection of fine art. Considered an annual tradition in South Florida, the Las Olas Art Fair also offers the opportunity to meet with the artists, ask about techniques, commission a specific piece and discover the inspiration behind each magnificent creation.

The Las Olas Art Fair (Part II) is slated for March 4 and 5, 2023. For more information about the Las Olas Art Fair, please visit www.artfestival.com.
