This year, more than 40 arts experiences are packed into two weeks spanning visual arts, literary events, and live performing arts — all set against the stunning sugar-white beaches and dune lake landscapes of the 30A corridor. Whether you love gallery hopping, live music under the stars, or cutting-edge digital art, Art Month has something to spark your imagination.</p><p>Highlights include the SEASIDE Art Walk, evening concerts and performances by Sinfonia Gulf Coast, storytelling nights by the Emerald Coast Storytellers, and special gallery exhibitions at studios and venues scattered across Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and beyond. The month also features the Longleaf Writers Conference for literary enthusiasts and theatrical productions at Emerald Coast Theatre Company. Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach — the worlds first projection art festival — anchors the calendar with a spectacular two-night outdoor show on the iconic white walls of Alys Beach.</p><p>Art Month is a wonderful reason to visit 30A during the uncrowded, golden days of late May.
