A Very Special Thank You... - Space Coast Art Festival

The Space Coast Art Festival
(SCAF) is a not-for-profit
501(c)3 organization governed
by an all-volunteer
Board of Directors. In 1963,
a small group of artists
and local community leaders
formed the first ‘Cocoa
Beach Sidewalk Art Show’.
Sponsored by the City of Cocoa Beach and supported
by the Cocoa Beach Woman’s Club, the Art
Show thrived for several years.
Incorporated in 1972, Space Coast Art Festival, Inc.
was born and presented its first juried show. Notfor-profit
status was granted in 1996 and in 1998
a year-round headquarters was established and
is currently located at 36 North Brevard Avenue in
Downtown Cocoa Beach. In 2000, a gallery was
added to provide a venue for support of local
artists and out reach programs for children.
Through a grant from a patron of the arts, the gallery
is known as the Margaret Heins Gallery.
With over $50,000 in cash awards for exhibiting artists,
SCAF draws outstanding talent from throughout
the country. Always held over Thanksgiving
weekend, SCAF’s long history of outstanding
success is due to the continued support from Festival
partnerships, Festival sponsors, memberships
and volunteers with special cooperation from our
host, the City of Cocoa Beach.
