Art lovers from all over the city and beyond are gathering this weekend for the return of the beloved Coconut Grove Arts Festival! Now in its 61st year, the three-day outdoor event will see a host of artworks, hands-on activities, local eats, musical performances and fun for the whole family.
Running along South Bayshore Drive from February 15-17, the festival will see stalls from more than 280 internationally acclaimed artists, each presenting unique pieces ranging from paintings and photography to jewelry and mixed media. Art enthusiasts and collectors can meet these talented artists face-to-face and hear the stories behind each of their works.
Highlights of CGAF will include the return of live music at Peacock Park, accompanied by live mural painting and interactive DIY activities.
Additionally, Wynwood Brewery will serve craft beers to visitors who will also witness live artistry in action at their Arts & Drafts Beer Garden. At Regatta Park, you can bring out your inner artist through painting, crafting and performances.
For the youngest attendees, Home Depot will also power a Creative Corner to foster creativity and at the Young Collectors Club, kids aged 5-12 can purchase their own piece of art for just $5, making it an adorable introduction to art collecting!
The Coconut Grove Arts & Historical Association has been dedicated to fostering the next generation of artists for six decades, with proceeds supporting impactful year-round programs, such as scholarships for Florida International University and Miami-Dade high school students.
