Collectors and shoppers will find unique and original pieces of fused glass, stained glass, pottery, sculpture, fiber art, acrylic, oil and watercolor art, metal art, driftwood art, jewelry, photography and so much more! In addition to the festival, the Cultural Center will be open for visitors to view artworks in the Chessman Gallery, the Fibre Art Studio and the downstairs artist studios. 

MUSIC

On Friday there will be live music both on the lawn and the plaza. Local musician and guitar teacher Richard Paris will be on the north lawn performing favorite acoustic guitar selections from noon to 2:30pm. Then crowd pleasing full band Bret Lucich and the Headturners get the dance music rolling on the Plaza from 3-5:30pm.

On Saturday, Bret Lucich returns to the lawn stage for a solo acoustic show from 10:30am –1p. Bret can play many instruments and genres so expect to be entertained and captivated! Then stick around for a HUGE treat! The Soul Proprietors will be rocking the Plaza from 1 pm to 3:30pm. This well known local group brings the funk and gets the crowd dancing with tight rhythms, silky vocals and robust horns playing classic Motown covers by legends like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power and Earth Wind and Fire. You’ve heard them at Beachcrest and now at the Art Festival! There is a reason these musicians are fan favorites￾all locals and all good. Don’t miss this opportunity to dance to the music!
