FOSTER ARTS AND CULTURE

FOSTERArts and Culture

The vision for the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Area includes improving the public art areas and outdoor gathering and performance spaces, connecting cultural assets and neighborhoods through complete streets. The vision includes a vibrant Peacock Arts District, whose vacant storefronts, homes and buildings become galleries, residences for artists, performance and creator spaces.

The Sunrise Theatre, the Historic Lincoln Theatre and the Peacock Arts District become destinations along activated streets with restaurant, boutique and hospitality uses. The future arts and cultural activities within the Redevelopment Area will be a key component of “Re-Setting” the economic base of the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Area.

Foster Arts + Culture

Arts are at the foundation of Fort Pierce’s identity. Providing connections and access to the City's existing cultural attractions and ‘cores’ will reach across the entirety of the community. Additional community and neighborhood gateways are also proposed to help define the extents and entrances of these unique areas, adding to the sense of place and arrival.

Accessibility and awareness of these attractions will drive visitors and activity.
