Revitalizing an Historic Neighborhood

Where Artists Can Live/Work/Sell

Where Art, Culture, and Community Reside

Edgewood

Located immediately west of the popular arts district in downtown Vero Beach the historic Edgewood neighborhood is being reimagined as a celebration of the arts. Edgewood, established in 1916 and the home to Vero’s first public school and first motel, is now becoming Vero’s first Art Village. Time and neglect have taken a toll on this community but a grass-roots, community-based effort is hoping to create an environment where local artists live and work.
The goal is to make the neighborhood attractive so more creative people will move into downtown Vero Beach. We are hoping Vero residents will become active partners in the community-based cultural arts project.

Allowing the Edgewood neighborhood to develop into an arts district will beautify the area and make downtown thrive. It’s an absolute diamond in the rough that needs to be enhanced, lived-in and cherished.

The Cultural Arts Village (CAV) in historic downtown Vero Beach brings to us a unique, creative environment where people will live, work and expand the cultural interests in our community. Thanks to all the many dedicated people who worked on this for years. You made it possible!
