taking a break...

Connected to Water will taking a break from art shows and online sales for the immediate future. We suffered damage to our home office, wood shop and artworks inventory during the storm surge of Hurricane Helene and winds of Hurricane Milton. We are all safe and healthy, but you could say…we got a little too connected to water.

Artworks of Eau Gallie Fine Arts Festival

ArtWorks of Eau Gallie Fine Arts Festival is an extraordinary experience for the entire family. All along Highland Avenue and St. Clair St., artists work en plein air, interact with the public and share their particular discipline with many interested bystanders. We value the act of educating the public as much as we do in providing outstanding artwork for viewing and purchase. Although all artists are encouraged to demonstrate in some fashion, demonstrating is optional for our artists. In addition to the awards for excellence in art displayed at the Festival, our show gives bonus awards for the best demonstrators—those who engage and educate the public in his/her demonstration. We have enjoyed great success in the past and look for more of the same in this our 27th year.

The 2022 Terra Ceia Island Mullet Smoke-Off

We're excited to make it official! After a two-year absence, the 2022 TCI Mullet Smoke-off and Arts Show is back on! The date is November 5th from 10:00-4:00 and the location is Seabreeze Park on Terra Ceia Island. We will be holding all of our signature events, including the mullet smoke-off competition, cast net competition, and the famous mullet toss.

The Mullet Smoke-Off is not only a day to see who smokes the best mullet--it's a family day to eat delicious food, participate in fun events, listen to live music, support local vendors and enjoy that good Old Florida feel.

We will be serving our traditional smoked mullet, mullet cakes, mullet spread, hush puppies, baked beans, cole slaw, BBQ beef, hot dogs, desserts and beverages. A beer truck will be on site and we will be selling hand-painted wine glasses that we’ll fill with wine for free!

Approximately 30 local vendors will participate in the Art Show portion of this event.
