Please Join us this Saturday for the Artrageous Second Saturday Art Walk in Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach.  Come see what your favorite artist has been up to, and get a SNEAK PREVIEW of our Small Works Show!
The Small Works Show is our popular annual show that is traditionally held around the holidays promoting  smaller, more affordable art, and handmade gift items.  Original paintings, artsy ornaments, unique jewelry, scarves, limited edition prints, and other handcrafted items will be for sale.   It is designed to provide a wide array of one-of-a-kind gifts that (mostly) range from $6 to $100  -  affordable for any holiday budget.   A specially chosen piece of art makes a unique gift for a friend or family member and when you buy directly from the artist they are able to keep prices low.
Many tourists love to purchase a small trinket or bit of local flavor to take back home with them. A visit to the Blue Door is the perfect way commemorate your experience on Amelia Island.  Many pieces are reflective of the region, while others are contemporary abstract works.  We have something for everyone in a wide variety of genres, styles, and price.

This year will be our 5thAnnual Small Works Show. It traditionally opens the Friday after Thanksgiving – The Downtown Pajama Party at 8AM (Yes, 8AM!) We are also open late for the Artrageous Art Walk, every Second Saturday of the Month, so you have plenty of opportunities to come out and appreciate this special show.  So we hope you are able to join us.
