My sister Susan and I drove up to Vero Beach, Florida yesterday afternoon to attend the 75th annual Under the Oaks Fine Arts and Crafts Show, which is held every March in that city's Riverside Park. And looking at the photograph above, it will be obvious how the festival got its name. This is a major juried art show, with over 200 artists from across the nation displaying their work, and is considered one of the top 200 art shows in the country. I was very impressed with both the quality and variety of the art, and was pleased to see quite a few photographers displaying their work, much of it very good. And no - neither Susan nor I actually bought anything while we were there. The items that did get our attention were priced around a thousand dollars and up, which is slightly beyond our price range. However, Vero Beach is quite an affluent community, and so I am sure the locals will no doubt make the artist's appearance at the show worthwhile. And if you are in the area and want to attend - and you should - the festival continues both today and Sunday from 9:00 until 5:00.
