Arts Council Of Martin County’s “All Florida” Juried Art Show Celebrates 30 Year Milestone Bringing Fine Artists From Around The State Together. Visit In Person Or Virtually Now Through December 12, 2020
The Arts Council of Martin County’s “All Florida” Juried Art Show turns 30 and is open now through December 12, 2020. While the show started as a local juried art show, over the years it has grown to encompass all Florida artists. The 2020 version features 54 artists of all media and introduces some new elements to the schedule. Juried by Lisa Rockford, a handful of artists will join a virtual panel to discuss their works on Tuesday, November 17. Instead of an Opening event, there will be a Closing Reception on Thursday, December 3. The entire Free exhibit is being offered in a hybrid manner, both virtual and in-person at the Courthouse Cultural Arts Center in Stuart. The Rickie Report shares the details and some sneak peeks of the top winners!
