The 47th Coconut Grove Arts Festival

By Irene Sperber 

Day One of the 3-day fest dawned windy and rainy, causing logistic anxiety amongst the Exhibitors. By Presidents Day the weather was perfectly scrumptious, and a good crowd comfortably meandered the stretch of booths. Along with myriad Visual Arts, one could bedeck themselves stylishly with the Wearable Arts: jewelry, hats, scarves, bags & clothing.

BEST BOOTH: Steven Potts – Wood
