About this event
As December settles over the emerald-water coast, the galleries and studios along Scenic Highway 30A swing open their doors for one of the most charming art events of the year. The Artists of 30A Holiday Artwalk transforms Saturday, December 5 into a self-guided tour through some of South Walton’s most talented local studios — from sweeping Gulf seascape paintings to handcrafted glass mosaics, mixed media, and jewelry that captures the spirit of these barrier-dune shores.
Participating spaces stretch across the 30A corridor from Inlet Beach to Grayton Beach and Point Washington, giving visitors the chance to step behind the scenes and meet the creators behind the brushstrokes. Each gallery offers refreshments, live demonstrations, and the kind of warm personal welcome that distinguishes the 30A art community. This is not a shopping mall pop-up — it is a genuine encounter with working regional artists who have made this coastline their muse.
The event is completely free and open to the public, running from 10AM to 4PM. Whether you are hunting for a one-of-a-kind holiday gift, scouting a piece for your beach home, or simply spending a beautiful December Saturday exploring the Gulf Coast’s creative soul, the Artists of 30A Holiday Artwalk is a must-visit coastal tradition.
