Thomas Kinkade Studios is back for the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts with two booths, one near the Germany Pavilion and another at the Italy Pavilion.
Thomas Kinkade Studios – Germany Pavilion
The studio continues the work of the late Kinkade, who passed away in 2012, painting gorgeous landscapes of locales both real and imagined, including the Disney Parks.
There are three new limited edition works available at the Germany booth, including the above Disney100 piece featuring Mickey and Minnie.
Another limited edition piece features Minnie and Mickey walking hand in hand through London. Goofy is selling flowers to Daisy and Donald.
The third limited edition piece depicts characters and scenery from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
Mickey and Minnie are featured on dates across the world.
One of the parks-themed pieces can be seen above, depicting Main Street, U.S.A., with fireworks bursting behind Cinderella Castle.
Thomas Kinkade Studios – Italy Pavilion
In addition to art inspired by Disney animation, the Italy Pavilion booth has “Star Wars” pieces.
Many are Mandalorian-centric.
Of course, that means several appearances of baby Grogu, also.
There are more Disney pieces here as well.
Several artists are on hand to sign at various times throughout the day.
