Marine Environmental Education Center to Hold 2nd Annual Environmental Art Festival

On Saturday, April 20 Marine Environmental Education Center at the Carpenter House, Free Our Seas, The City of Hollywood, NSU, and Broward County Parks are celebrating Earth Day at the Free Our Seas & Beyond Environmental Art Festival. This community event is a truly unique and special event featuring: a sand sculptor, live mural project,  beautiful environmental art, live music, ocean conservation zone, eco-artist market, food trucks, feedings of Captain, the rescued sea turtle and more.

Nestled between the beach and the Hollywood Broadwalk, the Marine Environmental Education Center at the historic Carpenter House is the perfect setting for the event: 4414 N. Surf Road.  A beach clean-up with Surfrider takes place from 9-11 am, before the event which is from 11-4 pm.

This  art festival has been created to harness the power of art to connect with the environment, to shine a light on solutions and to inspire and educate as a way to create change. Art inspired by nature, as well as upcycled and recycled environmentally themed pieces, will be on display to highlight our connection with the ocean while raising awareness of the impact of single-use plastics on our marine life, waterways and beaches.
