Brevard Area Events Calendar

Pete Steenland holds his fourth exhibit with the Studios of Cocoa Beach this April. His work is typically defined by his love of nature, and it is evident he has an acute appreciation for the intricacy within all living things. Since his early childhood, he has been inspired by natures intense beauty even in the smallest plants including weeds and marine diatoms, on into the magnificence of the greatest of subjects.
In fact, Pete holds an AA degree in Art and Biology, and a BA from University of West Florida in Studio Art with an emphasis in Marine Sciences with special focus in Scientific Illustration of marine and aquatic organisms. In addition to Petes educational background, he spent thirty-two years working on the seas as a licensed Merchant Marine Captain and as a Master of Vessels up to 3000 gross tons for Freight and Towing.
In this new series, Pete departs from ocean images and delves hip deep into the everglades (literally). His new work is a part of a larger expanding project emphasizing abstraction of his aesthetically realistic style, a process that continues to evolve and is evident in his past works. He most often creates large images and uses any combination of watercolor, gesso, oils, acrylics, Conte-crayon, India ink and any other unexpected media he may decide to play with.
To help manage Petes art business, Donna Steenland, Petes wife, plays a major role. The two of them share in a unified fellowship of Art dedicating their energies to sharing the many ways of reflecting the wonderful aspects of Gods unlimited Grace with others ultimately resulting in Petes art that vibrates with love for life, love for nature and love for God. Exhibition will be from April 1 to April 28, 2024 with the Reception on April 5, 2024 starting at 6:00 p.m.

Special Saturday Matinee May 11, 2pm

Directed by Bryan Bergeron

The Odd Couple (Female Version) is Neil Simons 1986 update of his original New York-based, male-cast comedy. This time, the lead players, Unger and Madison are women named Florence Unger and Olive Madison. They portray the persistently bickering roommates who try to make a go of cohabitation, despite having totally opposite personalities and lifestyles.

Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olives easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florences highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit.

Their persistent efforts to smooth over the potholes of life ramps up the comedy level and makes the show even more worthy of watching!

The award-winning festival, which draws tens of thousands of art and music lovers from throughout Central Florida, is a vibrant family friendly event that promotes and encourages artistic endeavors, education and appreciation of the arts.

This year’s festival will feature over 200 booths, live music, kid friendly activities, a VIP Patron Program, sponsor and exhibitor displays, and diverse food and beverage options.

The Melbourne Art Festival offers FREE admission, FREE parking, FREE children’s activities and FREE live entertainment throughout the weekend.

Among the many highlights of the 2024 festival:

· Nationally ranked and juried fine art show displaying original works of art in a variety of medias competing for over $20,000 in artist awards.

The Melbourne Art Festival is a juried Fine Arts Show, drawing artists from throughout Florida and the United States. The Melbourne Art Festival was selected as one of the Top 100 fine art shows in the US in 2023 and over the past ten years by Sunshine Artist Magazine, a 2021 Finalist for Florida Today’s ‘Best of Brevard Awards’ in the non-profit category, and the 2023 winner of Best Festival by Space Coast Living Magazine.

Originally held in Indialantic and Downtown Melbourne for its first 32 years, the festival moved to Wickham Park in 2017 due to limited parking, downtown congestion, and space limitations for artists, sponsors, and food vendors. Proceeds raised during the weekend, along with those raised at Melbourne Art Festival Benefit Art Auctions, are used to encourage and support the arts and art education in Central Florida; Offer Student Scholarships to junior high and high school students for art classes and camps; and funding other educational art efforts and art organizations. The Melbourne Arts Festival has donated over $100,000 to the community.
