Coming off the success of last year's inaugural event with an auction of Justin Gaffrey paintings, Food For Thought Outreach will have the Second Annual Art of Giving on SEPT 18 from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Churchill Oaks Clubhouse, presented by Southern Fashion House and Summer House Lifestyle. But there's a twist for this year's fundraiser. Instead of one artist, the event will feature the works of three acclaimed local artists.
After a second successful summer season, Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) continues its mission of providing art education to the Northwest Florida region with three after school/weekend opportunities this fall.

This year's Baytowne Art Walk is set to be the biggest one yet with fifty artist booths featuring fine art, folk art, jewelry, coastal themed art, handmade signs, picture frames, and more.
“Healing With Art” opens Sept. 26 in the second floor atrium at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast.

Designer Mychael Knight will present his Fall/Winter 2014 Collection at South Walton Fashion Week. The second annual, multi-day event along Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast will be held OCT 6-12 in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin's Town Center.
South Walton Fashion Week is produced by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County in conjunction with Monark Events and presented by Visit South Walton.
The holiday town of Seaside will host dance auditions for Act II of the 3rd Annual Seaside Nutcracker on AUG 22, from 5pm-6pm at the Seaside Assembly Hall. The Assembly Hall is located across the lawn from the Seaside Neighborhood School at 168 Smolian Circle. Dancers ages 8 to 18 from the Northwest Florida regions are eligible to participate in auditions.
There's no doubt that Justin Gaffrey is one of South Walton's most successful and appreciated artists. His beautiful work is usually drawn from natural SoWal features and is distinct and instantly recognizable. He's recently entered a new phase of work which is a bit deeper and more personal than his usual popular work of flowers and local landscapes.
The Repertory Theatre at Seaside has some tail-wagging delights to benefit Alaqua Animal Refuge. On Thursday, July 31, a performance of Seaside Shorts - a ‘bite-sized’ collection of short plays - will help raise money for the Freeport-based animal shelter, the area's only “no-kill” sanctuary – and currently home to more than 250 animals.
Artist Joe Elmore is a big fella. Some would describe him as being “larger than life.” Although he excels in almost every art medium, his huge wood sculptures reflect his skills with the chainsaw. Witness the huge cypress Indian head and California redwood buffalo sculptures that grace the entrance to his gallery, Elmore’s Landing, located on Hwy 331 just north of South Walton High School. The huge piece of redwood used for his big buffalo sculpture washed out of a California state park.
