New Smyrna Beach - America’s Top Small City for the Arts
Waverly New Smyrna Beach Office
New Smyrna Beach, Florida is a hidden gem of town bustling with the arts. The city’s motto is “Cygnus inter anates” which is Latin for “a swan among ducks”. New Smyrna Beach has reason to think of itself as a swan at least. This beautiful beachside town is about 15 miles southeast of Daytona Beach, Florida and 100 miles from Jacksonville, Florida. It is home to some 20,000 permanent residents and lists among its most notable the late Bob Ross , host of PBS’s The Joy of Painting. Mr. Ross passed away in 1995 but until his death he helped make New Smyrna Beach a big little center for the arts hidden along the Florida coastline.
A major draw to New Smyrna Beach is the Atlantic Center for the Arts. This internationally known center, through its Artist in Residency Program, brings together internationally acclaimed master artists from different disciplines with talented artists selected by the masters for three week residency sessions. This is a unique opportunity for aspiring artists to learn, collaborate and receive constructive criticism on their work. The Center is also home to rotating exhibits by world famous artists for those who appreciate the opportunity to view a wide variety of artwork. The great thing about the Center is that you don’t have to be a world renown artist - or even an aspiring artist to enjoy and even participate in the arts. The Center holds regular Saturday classes for both adults and children who simply like the arts.
