About Us
Purpose
The Beaches Art Walk is to
promote the work of artists by
providing a forum to legally,
safely and fairly display and sell
their original work, while also
benefiting the Jacksonville
Beaches: residents, businesses
and visitors.
Event Mission
To promote the work of local
artists by providing a forum to
sell their original works as part
of the Beaches Art Walk,
benefiting the Beaches Cultural
Community.
The Beginning
In November of '06, the founder of the Beaches Art
Walk, a native of Atlantic Beach, set out to accomplish
his objective: promote the uniqueness and sense of
community at the beach. Growing up the “beaches”
meant you were a local and you stood together. The
epithet ”townie” was harsher than even “carpet
bagger,” although now is a time for solidarity. The
founder’s journey brought him to a friend and artist of
fine stature and reputation. She drafted the initial
business proposal and solicited the help of a friend
and former co-worker. The two ladies used their
extensive work experience in the world of Fine Art to
help build the foundation that would become the
Beaches Art Walk. The team of three solicited four
more co-founders and set forth to create the Beaches
Art Walk you know and enjoy today.
