MartinArts will host its annual ArtsFest February 12-13 at Gazebo Park in downtown Stuart. In its thirty-fifth year, the eclectic and entertaining ensemble of visual artists, musicians, singers, and top area chefs will take over the park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets purchased at the gate are $5 for adults and free for children ages 18 and younger.
The beloved Treasure Coast tradition features a juried art festival with submissions by artists from across the country in mediums like painting, drawing, photography, ceramics, glass, wood, sculpture, and jewelry. The featured artists were selected for their excellence in workmanship, originality, and artistic conception.
The fest’s popular Chopped event returns on Saturday at 11 a.m., showcasing the inventive talents of renowned local chefs who all are previous champions, including: Erik Grutka (2015), Mark Mueller (2021), Jose Peralta (2018 & 2019), and Aldo Ramirez (2020). The showdown of the top two chefs begins at 1 p.m.
The weekend’s line-up of performers includes Saturday’s headliner, international jazz vocalist Yvette Norwood-Tiger, and Sunday’s headliner, the Indian River Pops Orchestra. Check MartinArts’ website for the full schedule, which includes a brass brand street parade on Saturday.
“We always aim to surprise and delight guests who attend ArtsFest, and this year will be no different,” said Nancy Turrell, CEO of MartinArts Foundation. “ArtsFest is truly an extension of the expansive arts community we have on the Treasure Coast, and we love this opportunity to highlight their accomplishments.”
