William Silvers Art

People browse vibrant art at an outdoor tent booth, where a sign above reads "William Silvers." Known as a Disney Background Artist, his colorful paintings captivate visitors at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Lush trees and sky serve as a picturesque backdrop.

Silvers’s booth is located on the walkway near the Mexico pavilion this year.

A small art booth at the EPCOT Festival displays three framed paintings by Disney Background Artist William Silvers, depicting beloved Disney characters under soft lighting.

William Silvers served as a background artist on a number of Walt Disney Animation Studios films, including “Mulan,” “Tarzan,” and “Lilo & Stitch.” As a result, most of his art pieces show classic animated characters. Just to point out a new item, the Maleficent art in the top right corner was specifically created for the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

A stunning display of framed Disney-themed artwork by Disney Background Artist William Silvers features cherished characters from Fantasia, Tangled, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and 101 Dalmatians, showcased at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

On the opposite wall, Silvers has created a large framed piece of Sorcerer Mickey from “Fantasia.” Other characters include Cruella De Vil, Rapunzel, and the Beast. The Rapunzel art is also new to the festival this year.

Framed artwork by Disney Background Artist William Silvers features cartoon characters celebrating with confetti in front of a castle during fireworks, reminiscent of the magic found at the EPCOT International Festival.

One of Silvers’s only park-themed pieces is this XL framed canvas for $2,500. Mickey stands with his friends on Main Street U.S.A. Cinderella Castle sparkles in the background with some picturesque fireworks and a hint of pixie dust courtesy of Tinker Bell. Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto are also enjoying the festive scene. We previosuly found this piece at Silvers’s booth during the 2023 festival, and we are glad to see it once more.

Silvers is planning to be present at his booth from 11:30a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except for Mondays and Tuesdays, although the schedule is always subject to change. More information about Silvers and his art can be found on his official art website and his Facebook page.
