The very first Woodgate Beach Arts in Spring was held 11 years ago, in 2013. The focus was to provide a celebration of arts and culture, perfect for bringing families, art lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy a creative day by the beach, into Woodgate.
The Woodgate Beach Arts in Spring event is knitted together by volunteers, spearheaded by Lesley Christiansen with money raised by the Woodgate Beach Community Association, often in collaboration with local businesses, in the name of supporting artists artisans, and the local community while celebrating the vibrant culture of the area.
Each year the event gets better and better.
