CULTURAL ARTS ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES BRADLEY COPELAND AS
2024 ARTSQUEST FEATURED ARTIST

36th Annual Festival To Take Place May 4 & 5 in Grand Boulevard Town Center

Santa Rosa Beach, FL (April 10, 2024) - ArtsQuest, the 36th Annual Fine Arts Festival produced by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA), is pleased to announce the 2024 Festival’s Featured Artist, Bradley Copeland. Her custom artwork titled “Matapalo'' will be the featured image on all ArtsQuest marketing materials. Copeland’s work will be featured at ArtsQuest, a beloved May tradition taking place May 4th & 5th in Grand Boulevard Town Center‘s North Park.

Bradley Copeland is a prolific 26 year-old artist living in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Bradley's passion for art has existed for as long as she can remember. After moving to Florida's panhandle in 2020, her passion transformed into her career. She has since participated in numerous solo and group shows as well as other festivals and events. Her story and artwork have been featured in many different publications, including the cover story of Emerald Coast Magazine. And last year, she was awarded South Walton’s Artist of the Year Award by Visit South Walton.

Bradley considers art to be her religion, her compass, and her greatest love. Her passion for creativity evolved into a need to share its healing abilities with others, and with the help of the CAA, a brand new prison art program was born. Above everything previously described, her most rewarding accomplishment is teaching this type of creativity every week to the residents of Walton Correctional Institution. When asked where she draws her inspiration from Copeland shares, “Really from everything in and around me. I am constantly trying to better understand myself and the universe and my place in it and making art helps me make sense of all of these things.”
