“It has been a wonderful ride of memories and good times downtown. Join us for eats, drinks and giveaways as we celebrate all the good times we have had over the years.”
Nikki Via, Artesano owner

Nikki and Jon Via opened Artesano in 2010, bringing an artist-led handmade market to the Emerald Coast. The boutique offers a variety of thoughtfully-made items, hand-carved knives, and an abundance of handmade jewelry that is all created by locals.

Over the years, Artesano has remained a gathering place for art events, community meetups, classes and shopping for treasured mementos.

Also happening this Friday night

The Downtown FWB Street Fest is back! The Downtown FWB Organization will be filling the sidewalks of Downtown with vendors, live entertainment, live music, and more! The Spring Series will be the 1st Friday of the month beginning in March and ending in May.
