After careful consideration and in light of the expected impact of Tropical Storm Milton, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Space Coast Art Festival, originally scheduled for October 12-13. The safety of our artists, attendees, and community is our top priority, and given the storm’s projected path and potential effects on the region, we believe this is the most responsible choice.
Although the storm is expected to arrive a few days before the festival, many of our artists and visitors travel from across Florida and the southeastern U.S. to participate. With the uncertainty surrounding how Tropical Storm Milton might impact the local area, we felt it was not advisable for anyone to undertake travel plans during this time.
What’s Next for Our Artists
We know how much effort and dedication our artists have put into preparing for the festival, and we share in the disappointment that this situation brings. All participating artists will receive additional information via email regarding next steps. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging time together.
How You Can Support Our Artists
Although we won’t be able to come together in person this year, you can still support the incredible artists who were scheduled to participate in the festival. We encourage you to explore our 2024 Artists List on our website, where you’ll find links to their websites, online shops, and social media pages. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the artists, discover their work, and even purchase a piece to enjoy in your own home.
Looking Forward
While we are deeply saddened by this cancellation, we remain committed to celebrating art and community in Brevard County. We are already looking ahead to future events where we can once again gather and showcase the amazing talents of our artists.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We encourage everyone to stay safe and take all necessary precautions during this time.
With gratitude,
The Space Coast Art Festival Team
