About the Show
What began as a hot dog and refreshment stand on St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church property during the weekend of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival has blossomed into a top ranked outdoor arts and fine crafts festival in its own right. Most recently ranked 8th in the country in Sunshine Artist Magazine’s “Best 200 Fine Art Shows”, the St. Stephen’s Art & Craft Show plays an important role in the South Florida Art Scene that takes place in Coconut Grove over the three days of Presidents’ Day Weekend.
The 2009 Show, to be held the 14th – 16th of February will mark 21 years for the St. Stephen’s Art & Craft Show. Visitors will enjoy the artwork of over 150 renowned fine artists and craft people, an international food court, children’s activity area, an authentic English tea room and musical entertainment, all on the shady campus of the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and Day School.
The Art Show is St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church’s longest standing cultural outreach event. Hundreds of volunteers from the greater Miami community help make the event a success. Beverage sales proceeds have allowed the Art Show to contribute more than $50,000 to the St. Stephen’s AIDS Ministry, and with the proceeds from its $1 admission charge we hope to once again fund outreach programs in the Coconut Grove and Miami Area.
The Art Show plays an important role in helping St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church achieve its vision of becoming “The Heart of the Grove” by offering a variety of cultural, spiritual, entertainment and public service programming to the community. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church invites all people to join us in a life of worship, mercy, justice, learning and service.
