IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts

WELCOME!

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, volunteers and staff of Atlantic Center for the Arts, welcome to the 47th Annual IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts in historic downtown New Smyrna Beach! We are pleased to invite you to join us at this FREE family event, which was ranked in the Top 50 for Fine Art Festivals in the nation! IMAGES has something for everyone – enjoy the work of 225 artists, including three Daytona State College students who were selected for our 2nd Annual Emerging Artist Program, festival food trucks, fabulous live music, projects for the kids and an exhibit of student artwork. Stroll through the park, buy some art, and have a great weekend with family and friends!

Since 1977, Atlantic Center for the Arts has fostered a spirit of innovation and collaboration among the world’s greatest writers, painters, sculptors, choreographers and composers during residencies held on our 68-acre campus. Integrating the natural environment and architecture and incorporating an interdisciplinary and mentorship approach to its residencies was core to Founder Doris Leeper’s vision as an artist and environmentalist. ACA has inspired tens of thousands of artists since its first residencies in 1982.

Community support has been essential to the successes that we celebrate, and what a joy it is to continue to welcome you to the world and work of our unique programs. We support working artists in our community through gallery exhibitions of Florida artists at Arts on Douglas (join us for First Saturdays) and offer free Arts & Wellness programs that serve over 3,000 youth, caregivers, veterans, and those interested in increasing health through the arts. I believe the power of the arts transforms us and our communities every day and invite you to make Atlantic Center for the Arts a part of your life!

IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts at A Glance

A free public festival, IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts , is considered one of the top juried outdoor art shows in the Southeast and in 2020, was ranked #16 in Sunshine Artist’s “Best Fine Art Shows in the Nation.” In 2020, we presented 237 artists from 32 states and Canada, and drew over 50,000 arts enthusiasts. Presented by Atlantic Center for the Arts, IMAGES takes place in the beautiful outdoor setting of Riverside Park, with the Intracoastal Waterway providing a stunning backdrop, and along historic downtown Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach. The high quality, salable work combined with continuous live musical entertainment, creative children’s art projects, a student art exhibit, and pleasing cuisine provides a culturally rich experience that communicates Atlantic Center for the Arts’ stamp of artistic excellence.

IMAGES wouldn’t happen without the support and cooperation of the New Smyrna Beach City Commission, Police and Fire Departments, and Parks & Recreation Department, and we are grateful for their willingness to support the Festival in so many ways over the past 46 years. Among the young people involved with the Festival are members of the Boy Scout Troop 72, led by Jeremy and Rebecca Green and a dedicated corps of parents.

• IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts was founded 47 years ago, and is spread along Riverside Drive, partway up Canal Street, and throughout picturesque Riverside Park in New Smyrna Beach. It is open from 1 PM to 5 PM Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Saturday, and 10 AM to 4 PM Sunday.

• Please leave your pet at home as the streets can get crowded and we don’t want your pup to get stressed out!

• First Aid is located at the corner of Downing Street and Riverside Drive.

• Parking is available on Canal Street (west of Live Oak), Sams Avenue, Magnolia Street, Andrews Street, and North Riverside Drive. HANDICAPPED PARKING is available in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot, at 115 Canal Street. IMAGES volunteers can also assist those in need of handicapped parking under the South Causeway overpass accessible at Lytle and Magnolia Streets.

• Portable restrooms with handicap accessibility and running water can be found in Riverside Park, and throughout the Festival route.

• The information tent, located at the intersection of Canal Street and Riverside Drive, is the place to go to buy festival items such as t-shirts and posters, inquire about a particular artist, or if you get separated from your group and need help finding them.

• Visit the Spirit Garden in Riverside Park and enjoy a drink while listening to the music and taking in the view. The Spirit Garden will be featuring New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company’s local favorites on tap, along with a selection of wines and canned cocktails to choose from.

• Children can participate in hands-on art projects presented by the ACA Volunteer League and area art teachers at the Creative Education Tent. The tent is located in Riverside Park, adjacent to the playground, and is open from 10 AM to 3 PM Saturday and 11 AM to 3 PM Sunday. The Student Art Exhibit, featuring the work of over 100 students in Southeast Volusia schools, is next to the Creative Education Tent.

• New Smyrna Beach, located on Florida’s east central coast south of Daytona Beach, is ranked one of the “100 Best Small Art Towns in America” in the book by John Villani. New Smyrna Beach is a great place to spend the weekend! Call the Visitor Center at 800-541-9621 for information about accommodations and restaurants.

• Stop by the food trucks, located in the Brannon Center parking lot, for lunch or a snack. With over 10 trucks, this new addition to IMAGES provides options the whole family will enjoy!

ABOUT THE FEATURED ARTIST Anne Schroeder

The Florida keys were Anne’s home for most of her life. She spent a great deal of time boating, snorkeling and diving the once stunning reefs. Exploring the Florida bay back country was another wonderful adventure! Shells, feathers & driftwood were her treasures. Anne started creating art at a very young age. Thanks to a wonderful local art guild that provided art students with awards of supplies, she was able to learn how to work with many different media. At 16, she received a scholarship to Ringling School of Arts and at 18 she won a scholarship to study in Italy, through Florida International University in conjunction with the University of Bologna, Italy. It was 2004 when the feathers became a prominent fixture in her work. Anne loved how the patterns you find on feathers duplicated the patterns and colors you find on the reef and its tropical fish. She created collages, jewelry and finally started painting on the feathers.

Anne does not dye the feathers and only rarely cut them to trim or shape. All the feathers are naturally shed and are responsibly and legally sourced from parrot rescues, private owners, and rare bird breeders.

Anne’s work has been featured on PBS television’s Art Loft series: Episodes #249 and #349 which can be viewed on YouTube. You can see her largest works, to date, installed at the Christian Louboutin boutique in the Miami Design District. Anne was commissioned to create a tryptic of feather collages, each 8 feet tall by 4 feet wide. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma flooded her Florida Keys apartment and that October she moved to her new home in Fort Myers, where she now resides full time.

The Trish Thompson Emerging Artist Program returns to IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts! A partnership with Daytona State College, the program encourages Emerging Artists to participate in the world of outdoor festivals by guiding them through the application process and the logistics of a festival at no cost to them.

Daytona State College students experience the same juried application process as Festival Artists and three Emerging Artists will be selected by the judges. Each selected artist will receive a fully outfitted tent where they can sell their work at IMAGES, attend a workshop with a Festival Artist to learn industry tips and real-world applications of the outdoor festival world, showcase their talent to the 50,000+ attendees of the Festival, and vie for the $1,500 Emerging Artist Award! Plan to visit these talented students at their booths, learn more about their work, and support the next generation of artists!

Arts on Douglas

Arts on Douglas, established in 1996, was the vision of Doris “Doc” Leeper, founder of Atlantic Center for the Arts. She and fellow artist/benefactor, Ed Harris, transformed the former 1920s-era Ford car showroom into a unique commercial art gallery dedicated to promoting the work and careers of Florida artists.

Upon entering the gallery, guests will discover a carefully curated selection of contemporary works, arranged to compliment this historic space - with its original brick walls and open, beamed ceiling. Meandering through the main gallery, visitors will discover an impressive display of acrylic, oil and mixed media paintings tastefully displayed. Also, peppered throughout the space is an array of sculptures, ceramics and artistically designed jewelry. This ongoing group display highlights new work by the 40 artists represented by the gallery. This presentation is formally changed every four months, allowing visitors a new experience many times throughout the year. Along the south side is the alt_space Gallery, dedicated to showcasing contemporary genres including installation art, conceptual art, and experimental practices. Discover the Feature Gallery, displaying monthly solo and group exhibitions by gallery artists.

On the first Saturday of each month, the gallery welcomes the public to a free reception from 4-7 PM celebrating new exhibitions. These lively gatherings are complemented with cocktails and live jazz. In addition to opening 18 new exhibitions each year, the gallery’s professional staff offers clients a range of services including: art consultations, previews of artwork on location, commissions, delivery, installation and shipping.
