St. Lucie and Martin County
St. Lucie and Martin County Galleries, Museums, and Theaters.
Art also enlivens the cultural scene. Visit our art galleries and see highly regarded original artworks from the likes of famed Florida painter A.E. Backus and the renowned group of African-American sojourning artists collectively called the Florida Highwaymen at the A.E. Backus Museum and Art Gallery. It’s a palette of respected talent found nowhere else. Check out the newly renovated Elliott Museum with its fabulous antique car display and gorgeous works of art. And don’t miss the House of Refuge where long ago seafaring captains and their ships sought refuge and shelter. Finally, local theaters such as The Barn Theater, Lyric Theater and Sunrise Theater offer outstanding plays featuring local talent as well as talent from the USA and around the world.
You'll love this area! We spend so much of our lives indoors--wouldn't it be nice to have beautiful weather and water when you are outside?
