Celebrate the Visual, Literary & Performing Arts

There are no current plans for the Palustris* Arts Festival.
We do hope to bring Palustris back better than ever!


*The name, Palustris (pronounced puh-LUHS-tris), was taken from the scientific name of the longleaf pine or Pinus palustris , which is native to the southeastern part of the United States. We chose this word because of the longleaf pine tree’s unique ecological, historical and cultural significance to our community.
