The City of Pembroke Pines 23rd Annual ArtFest was the Ultimate Crowd Pleaser

The City of Pembroke Pines, families, friends, guests, and artists came together for the 23rd Annual ArtFest in the Pines at the Charles F. Dodge City Center.

The two-day event was as good as it gets for art enthusiasts. ArtFest offered attendees the best musical entertainment South Florida had to offer, refreshments and delightful snacks from the gourmet truck expo, hands-on demonstrations, pop-up art on the plaza, a kids’ art and game zone, a student art competition and shopping. As well as, both adult and children workshops at The Frank Art Gallery on the plaza.

The ArtFest in the Pines highlighted an extensive amount of fine arts in categories such as Painting, Digital Art, Fine Handcrafts, Glass, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Photography, Wood, Three Dimensional Sculpture, Drawing, and Crafts.
