ARTSFEST

ArtsFest | Providing Arts Experiences
for the Community since 1988!
ArtsFest is truly an experience… it’s a street art festival PLUS so much more. Year after year, visitors
tell us that there is so much to do at ArtsFest. That feedback really makes us happy as we plan each and every
year to make ArtsFest a true experience, with something for everyone.
As the festival organizer, the Arts Council of Martin County works to ensure that ArtsFest reflects
many art forms– performing, literary, culinary and visual. And in the visual arts, we want this to be different
than any other art show you attend all season long.
The hands-on activity zone (it’s so much more than a Kids’ Area) is a way we strive to make ArtsFest
live our mission… which is to inspire participation in the Arts. In 2018 we had a Harry Potter theme and
had the Treasure Coast cosplayers in costume with an array of activities! In 2019 we are making the activities
based in S.T.E.A.M – or science, technology, engineering, arts, and math! This educational focus is critical
learning for our youth, so they can pursue great careers with a firm foundation in creative thinking.
Got an idea for an activity… get involved and help plan it! We welcome volunteers and committee
members to take an idea and run with it. The diversity of ArtsFest is made possible through the creative input,
insight and leadership of our committee. Want to help? Call us today to get involved.
