The Treasure Coast is in no short supply of artists! The coastal landscape inspires artisans and crafters of all kinds, producing beautiful artworks and multi-medium pieces that reflect the beauty of the world around them. You can even find some of them in museums as examples of the cultural and social mindsets of the time. From gallery-worthy works of art to handmade pieces, you can find them everywhere from farmer’s markets to their own studios.

Geoffrey C. Smith Galleries

Take some time to stop in this sculpture gallery the next time that you’re in Downtown Stuart. Local artist Geoffrey Smith draws inspiration from the natural world around him, using it to create statues that are so lifelike you’d expect them to breathe. You might recognize his design of the sailfish fountain jumping out of the water- it’s the same one that stands in Downtown Stuart as a cultural symbol of the city – the Sailfish Capital of the World!

The Elliott Museum

While this Hutchinson Island classic is known for its history displays and classic car collection, it houses art of all kinds! Take some time to enjoy the significant collection of classic cars, trucks, bicycles, and boats; baseball memorabilia; local history; Americana; a variety of art; a tribute to actress Frances Langford; and even a Foucault Pendulum.

Fish House Art Center

When you’re driving along Dixie Highway, keep an eye out for this brightly colored building that serves as an art studio to many! Multiple stores call the Fish House their home, including Aya Fiber Studio, Marker 23 Gallery and Tattoo Studio, and Clay Space. Take a silk dyeing class, watch an artist at work on their craft, and peruse great fashion pieces and statement jewelry at one of the many shops here.

Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast

The staff at this museum knows that some mediums are to be consumed directly and as hands-on as possible, which is why exhibits here are completely interactive! From learning of the life cycle of a butterfly at the butterfly garden to exploring a recreation of a fire station, this is a learning experience that everyone can truly grasp!

Court House Cultural Center

Heading down Ocean Boulevard, you’ll find one of the centerpieces of arts and production within Martin County. Run by The Arts Council of Martin County, the Court House Cultural Center hosts gallery showings, productions, and events that showcase art in all its forms. Both local artists and artists from outside the area are on display here, highlighting the artistic diversity within the area.
