You won't find any patchouli oil or Birkenstocks at this Earth Day event! Artist and curator, Laura Marie Peterson and the Sailboat Bend Artists' Loft's Gallery seeks to elevate the typical Earth Day festivities to the next level when the 1310 Gallery in the Sailboat Bend Artists' Lofts, hosts its first annual Earth Day Fest on April 23rd. The event, sponsored by Upcycle Arts and America's Backyard, will feature a host of local artists, musicians, and craft vendors in an effort to promote environmental issues, community awareness and social responsibility. On the balcony of the 2,400 square foot gallery, guests can enjoy fresh air, twinkling stars and a complimentary massage courtesy of massage therapists from American Institute School of Wellness and Beauty in Margate. A special silent auction will be held with proceeds going to benefit Arts in Schools & Earth Day Fest next year 2012.

Curator, artist, and visionary, Laura Marie Peterson is known for creating dynamic events that bring artists, musicians, and the community at large together. The third floor of the gallery will showcase music by Es Oh, A Girl Named Chuck, Paul Bellatoni, Not for Nothing, Candace Marie, and many more. Artists in the show include Laura Marie Peterson, Francisco Sheuat, Michael D. Colanero, Laura Atria, Mitchell Block and host of up and coming local artists.
