GAA Call To Artists…

The Goodland Arts Alliance is sponsoring its second annual outdoor Harbor Arts & Music Festival at MarGood Harbor Park in Goodland on Sunday, March 9, from 10 AM to 4 PM. The festival is open to all artists of Collier and Lee Counties, either full-time or seasonal.

All work must be originally created; fine crafts are encouraged, but no buy-sell items will be accepted. Space is limited.

The venue, MarGood Harbor Park, is the latest jewel in the crown of Collier Parks and Recreation. Because of it’s historic and environmental significance, the property was purchased with Florida Forever funds in 2005. Today native landscaping and lovely walkways wrap around a charming harbor-front, the park also boasts a large open-air pavilion, and a museum/exhibition hall.

The Goodland Arts Alliance is dedicated to the mission of “preserving, promoting, and advancing, the cultural presence in the Village of Goodland, through art, history, and education.”
