Kinkade Studio Artists Wrap Up Appearances, New Jim Shore Works Debut at Art of Disney
Over the past week and half, three remarkable artists shared their talents at Art of Disney, a treasured shop at Disney Springs. This weekend wraps up the trios’ appearances, highlighting their exquisite talents and celebrating the Disney Dream Collection of artwork.
All three featured artists are part of the Thomas Kinkade Studios group, including yesterday’s celebrated Disney Galleries contributor, Joseph Yakovetic.
Per his bio on display yesterday during his signing, Yakovetic’s talents range from costume work and detailed paintings to caricaturing and even pumpkin carving. Like yesterday, the talented artist continues to share his sketch artistry live in demonstrations throughout the world.
During the ten-day engagement, fellow Thomas Kinkade Gallery artists Dirk Wunderlich and Jenna McMullins also made appearances at Art of Disney, showcasing their talents and signing original works.
Jim Shore, Enesco Holiday Designs Available at Art of Disney
A plethora of Jim Shore pieces also arrived this week at Art of Disney, including a hand-painted sculpture of Minnie Mouse ready to take on the holiday shopping of the season.
As always, the details on the new figurine abound with a unique checkerboard pattern on her ears and holiday details speckled throughout her outfit. The base also includes a delightful holly design.
The collectible, titled “Holiday Glamour,” retails for $45 and comes sold seperately from a coordinating Mickey Mouse statue that utilizes similar detailing.
We spotted both the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse pieces sold on shopDisney as well for $49.99 a piece.
A delicate Jack Skellington as “Sandy Claws” Jack also arrived at Art of Disney recently. Complete with a sack of Halloween Town-themed toys, Jack appears ready to stand in for Santa this holiday season.
At Art of Disney, the Enesco Disney Showcase Collection piece retails for $90. For those not able to get to Disney Springs, the piece is also available at shopDisney for $99.99.
As the Thanksgiving crowds arrive this weekend at Walt Disney World, a trip to Art of Disney at Disney Springs assuredly tops many must-do lists for those in search of unique Disney collectibles.
