WOW! How can I be…read morethe first to write a review for them? I feel honored. Honestly. Appreciate art? Take the long, beautiful drive out to the Saxapahaw Artist Gallery. There is something for everyone. The building is old and artsy in it's own right--the historic Sellars building. I believe the artists themselves staff it. Go during one of their events and you will be oh, so pleasantly surprised. There is usually music which delights. There is just so so so so much talent displayed here. I adore coming here and supporting local artists. It's a wide variety including all sorts of mediums and subject matters. My only con would be I really wish they would not allow smoking outside at the entrance. If you have asthma like I do, it really makes it hard to enjoy stopping in if they are lighting up outside. You will find them open: Wednesday through Friday: 12:00 to 5:00 PM Saturday 11:00 to 6:00 PM Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 PM

Founded in 1980, the Arts Council of Martin County, is a non profit located in Stuart Florida…read more Their mission is to bring the arts to Martin County through education and programs for students and the public. The run an annual two day ArtsFest in Memorial Park every February. A complete list of their events can be found on the cultural calendar posted to their website. The Arts Council offices are on the second floor of the restored historic 1937 Martin County Courthouse which has been turned into the Court House Cultural Center. They operate two galleries with rotating free art exhibits on the first floor. I recently visited the gallery for the current exhibit, Horizons A Retrospective Exhibition of Jim Houser & Dan Mackin. The Arts Council current venture is the SHS Arts Campus Project. SHS is the Art Deco 1923 Stuart High School. The class of 1964 was the last to graduate from SHS. In recent years the building has been used as the Martin County School District Administrative Offices and the Instructional Center for Education. All offices have now moved out of the building and the school board meets in the former auditorium. The Arts Council would like to save this historic building and turn it into multiple mixed-use venues which will include space for working artists, performers, lectures, commerce, and office space. You can see updates of the project on Arts Council website. You can help them reach their goal by supporting their various programs and leaving donations at the Court House Cultural Center.
