A Vibrant Arts<br />

Community<br />

Take a break from the sand<br />

and surf and get to know<br />

New Smyrna’s cultural side.<br />

Everyone knows New Smyrna Beach has beautiful<br />

beaches, but the community’s vibrant<br />

arts scene is just as notable. Whether you<br />

prefer a live theatre performance or enjoy an<br />

afternoon of browsing art galleries, you’ll find<br />

ample opportunities to enjoy artistic expression<br />

in this coastal escape. At The Hub on<br />

Canal visitors can experience everything from<br />

writing classes and music lessons to artists<br />

lectures and art lessons. Since 2012 this<br />

busy arts center, aptly named The Hub, has<br />

inspired the community with classes, events,<br />

and creativity. This spring they merged with<br />

Jane’s Art Center to deliver even more offerings<br />

to visitors and members. Today, the<br />

center serves as an incubator for more than<br />

70 artists. The annual Holiday Gallery of<br />

Gifts, Razzle Dazzle fashion show and chalk<br />

art competition are signature events not to<br />

be missed. Nearby, in the historic district of<br />

New Smyrna Beach, you’ll find Jane’s Art<br />

Center which comprises both Jane’s Gallery<br />

and Jane’s Clay Studio. The Gallery features<br />

works of art from national and international<br />

artists and visitors can browse the permanent<br />

collection or any of the temporary exhibitions<br />

on offer each month. The Clay Studio<br />

is a full-service ceramics center that offers<br />

open studio time, group, and private classes.<br />
