EPCOT International Festival of the Arts: Illustrator Joey Chou Artist Spotlight and Artist Appearance Schedule – January 24-30

As the EPCOT International Festival of Arts is in full swing at Walt Disney World, we’d thought we’d take a few moments to spotlight a few different artists who can be found at the festival in the coming days. You can also take a look at the full schedule of who will be appearing later down the page.

Debuting four new pieces for this year’s festival, artist Joey Chou will be on hand throughout the week to meet guests. Originally born in Taiwan and moved to California when he was 14, Chou studied at the Art Center College where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2006. Over the course of his career, he worked in visual development for animated projects for Disney, including work on Bolt, Princess and the Frog, Frankenweenie, and Prep and Landing. He also lended his vis-dev talents to other non-Disney projects including Netflix’s Vivo, and the Academy Award winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This work can be seen on his official site, www.joeyart.com You can also see many of his illustrations in children’s books, including It’s a Small World, Nemo’s Day Off, Finding Dory: Come Swim with Me and Little Golden Books like I’m a Narwhal and I’m a Dragon.

You can also find his work in Disney Destinations around the globe. He did two Mary Blair inspired pieces – the murals of “it’s a small world” at Tokyo Disneyland and the murals in the recently renovated lobby of Disney’s Contemporary Resort – which have been immediately adored by fans who might not necessarily know it was his work.

He has become one of the leading artists at Disney’s Wonderground Gallery, a unique location at the Disneyland Resort that spawned a smaller location at Walt Disney World that allows independent artists to interpret Disney characters and locations in their unique style and point of view. For this year’s festival, you can find him at the Wonderground Location between the France and Morocco pavilions in World Showcase, where he'll be showing off his new pieces inspired by Soul, 101 Dalmatians, Inside Out, and Fantasia that you can see below.

You can find these pieces, as well as many others by Chou, at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. His appearance times, as well as other artists who will be present at the park this week, can be seen in the full schedule below:
