Powered by GoogleFirst Coast Cultural Center has a great Holiday Shoppes event in November each year! They've been doing it for over 30 years and it is a staple festival to attend in Ponte Vedra or the Jacksonville Beach area. It's great because it's not just crafty items, but high quality handmade pieces such as furniture, wood carvings, jewelry, clothing, glasswork, ect. They also have some great retail names that attend the shoppes to sell stuff like shoes, accessories, very nice jewelry at great prices, and sweets.
If you haven't visited the cultural center and pontevedra you're really missing the boat. I recently took a class with Ellen Diamond a vivatius, enthusiastic, kind woman and a phenomenal artist who shares her love and knowledge of art with everyone she meets. I not only learned some great sketching and watercolor techniques with Ellen but I made friends in the class. It was one of the best evenings I've ever spent There are many other classes that are offered at the cultural center that enable us to get a feel for the local artists and really see how talented our friends are here in Ponte Vedra. Whether you are visiting pontevedra on vacation or a coming over from Amelia island or just live in the area make sure that you take some time to visit the Cultural Center.
Our kids took the art class here. They enjoyed it and learned how to make artsy stuff. They brought home all kindsa art.
I took an acrylic painting class here with Marisa. Very nice atmosphere and the people are wonderful. Recommended for any aspiring artists.
Lovely venue for an art exhibition. Parking can be a challenge but once inside the Center floor plan works very well as a series of galleries.
