Posted

First Coast Cultural Center, formerly The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach, is currently selling local artist’s work at the nonprofit’s studio location and online to support the organization, its members and instructors who specialize as fine art painters, mixed media and fabric artists, jewelry and clothing accessory designers, wood turners, candle makers, authors, illustrators and more.

The Cultural Center’s Market is located at 3972 3rd St. S. in Jacksonville Beach, and items are available for purchase at firstcoastculturalcenter.org/connect/online-market.

According to Donna Guzzo, President and Executive Director at First Coast Cultural Center, the Market is seeking new artists and creatives to offer their work at the facility or on the website where various artistic creations provide gifts and decorative options to the public. A wide range of prices are available with a percentage of each item’s sale going to the artist and a percentage of proceeds donated to the Center to help local artists sell their art and products. New artists are welcome and may apply to have their work featured by calling Bryannah Ford at (904) 280-0614, ext. 1211 or email bford@ccpvb.org.

The nonprofit serves the community as a gathering place to learn, experience, and appreciate the arts and culture in its many forms, and provides opportunities for adults, children and families through classes, exhibits, programs, services, activities, and memberships open to the local community, and beyond.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday with after hour appointments available.
