Makersfest - a new concept at St. Stephen's

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this weekend is the Coconut Grove Arts Festival and the St. Stephen's Art Show. Both shows run February 17-19, 2018.

New this year at the St. Stephen's show is an event called "Makersfest, which is Saturday and Sunday.

This includes an indie-craft or makers fair on the south side of the show. MakersFest @ St. Stephen's Art Show is a hand crafted experience of sound color and flavor. Artists, musicians and crafters are producing original works of art combining traditional techniques with modern, unconventional styles, contexts and subject matters.

Entrance is free at St. Stephen's this year.

The Center Stage of the show will have live, local, music from noon to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday, and all weekend long at the Main Highway entrance for the inaugural MakersFest @ St. Stephen's.

Check out the hands-on "Art 4 Kids" zone too, a favorite addition to last year's show. Crayon melting, spin art, cookie art and sand art! Proceeds will fund the St. Stephen's Youth Group mission trips serving our global community.

Stroll and enjoy the title MakerFest sponsor Veza Sur Brewing Co., and Art Show title sponsors Goose Island Beer, Copa Wines and Icelandic Water. Their famous Food Court features signature conch fritters and many other tasty foods.
