Tebault Bridal One Year Celebration
2021-04-01 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Tebault Bridal, 1590 Arapaho Ave, Saint Augustine, 32080
As a premier wedding destination, St. Augustine attracts over 3,000 brides each year. Many spend countless hours planning and meeting prospective vendors while in the Nation’s Oldest City, however one important piece of the wedding puzzle was missing – that is, until Tebault Bridal opened its doors in April of 2020.
On April 1st, Tebault will host a public celebration within its beautiful waterfront space to commemorate successfully operating in St. Augustine for one year. The celebration will take place from 5-8 p.m., and will feature vendors such as Mimosas Braid Bar, STA Events, Chic Booth, Perfect Pour, balloon installations from Old City Occasions, desserts by Sweet Weddings and a variety of giveaways and prizes from local businesses. The celebration is open to the public, and brides and wedding vendors are encouraged to attend.
Each attendee will receive a ticket to win a giveaway basket, and will have the opportunity to purchase additional raffle tickets for $1 or through bringing in items for donation, such as a pet toy, blanket, or pet food. All proceeds raised will be donated to a local animal charity.
Offering a local, luxury boutique wedding dress experience in the heart of St. Augustine, Tebault Bridal is the brainchild of local resident Kristen Tebault. When she was planning her own wedding, she noticed a need for a bridal boutique in her hometown that could serve both local, regional and destination brides alike.
“It was always in the back of my mind that I wanted to have a boutique of some sort, but it was through our wedding experience that I became obsessed with the bridal industry,” Tebault said.
After eight years as a small animal veterinarian – the most recent within an emergency animal hospital setting – Tebault needed a change. Though her prior work was rewarding, the high-stress and many times heart-breaking aspects of her job began taking its toll. After saying “I do”, a new opportunity presented itself. She began conducting market research and meeting bridal shop owners throughout the U.S., and developed a keen eye for exactly what she wanted to offer St. Augustine brides.
“I want walking into the boutique to be a first-class experience, whether you are buying a $1,000 dress or a $10,000 dress,” Tebault said. “It’s important to create that special experience. It’s not just shopping for a dress – it’s a moment in your life that you want to do over and over.”
Tebault Bridal envelops a classic, timeless elegance with a modern twist, welcoming patrons in hues of pink and gold. The sparkle of chandeliers compliment bubbly toasts poured once a bride has found “the one.” But the real diamond is the personal experience Tebault gives to every bride before they even walk into the door. Tebault says she envisions every visit to be special and unique, starting with communication over the phone before the appointment to get to know each bride on a personal level.
“I want to create an unforgettable experience,” Tebault said.
Within the first year of being open, Tebault Bridal has been awarded both “Best of the Knot” and a Couples’ Choice Award by Wedding Wire. Accessibility for brides of all budgets is a key factor of Tebault Bridal, as well as high-quality service and products offered. A variety of brands are available within the showroom, including Justin Alexander and their subsets, Maddie Lane, Modeca and more. Veils, jewelry, hair pieces, belts and sashes are also available. Located down 1590 Arapaho Ave off US1, Tebault Bridal additionally offers unparalleled views of the coastal St. Augustine marsh that can be viewed through large windows within the bridal suites.

Painter Martha Ferguson is Butterfield Gallery’s featured artist in April
2021-04-02 11:00 - 2021-04-30 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Martha’s Her well loved interpretations of St. Augustine are awash with light and color. Martha will be in the gallery from 11am-6pm on First Friday, April 2, to talk about her work and painting style.
Martha’s style is impressionistic and she paint primarily in oil and watercolor. She loves to paint old gritty towns, capturing the feel of the area and the locals that walk the quaint streets, and is drawn to architecture and the way the light comes through the subject. “I want my paintings to be more than a likeness but an experience or a nostalgic feel. I can walk by the same scene many times and then all of a sudden there is a moment that tells a story. That’s what I seek to capture, that’s when the painting is successful. Painting is a journey that provides me with a determination to learn, create and master my technique, while keeping my own sense of style.”
Over the last few years Martha has become passionate about plein air painting. You may have spotted her around town, with brush and paints in hand. She works on small studies out in the open air, many of which later become larger paintings that she paints in the studio. Examples of both are displayed in the gallery. Her paintings regularly win local and national awards, (In 2020 alone she won five), and Martha’s paintings of old town St. Augustine have become popular collector pieces for visitors and locals alike.
Martha Ferguson holds a BA Fine in Art from Flagler College and in addition, studied watercolor and print making at the University of Charleston and continued studies at The Art Student League of New York and various master artists workshops. She credits Emmet Fritz, a local painting legend whom she often encountered painting the scenes of St. Augustine during her college years at Flagler. It was in those days she fell in love with painting.
Martha has crafted a distinct style of painting that is instantly recognizable, and seem to dance with a liveliness you must see to appreciate.

Inaugural Lightner Local Exhibition Presents Antwan Ramar: Contemporary Impressions
2021-04-02 17:00 - 20:00
The inaugural Lightner Local exhibition presents Antwan Ramar: Contemporary Impressions. In his work, Ramar brings a contemporary vision to landscape painting while embracing historic traditions and techniques. Presenting his plein air studies alongside larger studio works, Ramar’s exhibition at the Lightner explores his process of art making from field study to final painting.
Antwan Ramar: Contemporary Impressions will be on display from April 2, 2021 – May 23, 2021 in the Lightner Museum’s East Room Gallery above the historic swimming pool. The exhibition will open on Friday, April 2nd during St. Augustine’s First Friday Art Walk from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Guests should enter through the Granada St. door of the Café Alcazar. Masks are required.
Originally from rural Wisconsin, Antwan Ramar has always been inspired by nature’s beauty. Ramar studied art in Southern California, in some of the finest ateliers under teachers with extensive experience in their fields. In that time, his curricular focus was on conceptual art. Learning the fundamentals of drawing and painting gave him the tools to take his art in any direction. Today Ramar is a full-time painter, splitting his time between painting in his studio, teaching classes and participating in plein air events around the country. He loves to travel and paint but spends most of his time in sunny Orlando, Florida. Of his work Ramar states, “My paintings tell stories through the ephemeral mood of natural light. I look for the subtle poetry of each subject, trying to paint the “adjective” and not the “noun” of the scene.”

The Keepers
2021-04-08 17:30 - 18:30 | Zoom
The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum is happy to welcome back visual artist Cyriaco Lopes and poet Terri Witek to Flagler College for a participatory virtual event on Thursday, April 8 at 5:30pm. This event is a collaboration with the St. Johns County Public Library, in conjunction with National Poetry Month. The event is free and open to the public, and registration is required.
Zoom has become a ubiquitous part of both our personal and professional lives during the course of the pandemic. Through The Keepers, Lopes and Witek will utilize Zoom as an investigation of the gap between images and text, as orchestra, as conversation, as interactive performative work. The artists encourage viewers to participate in the creation of both visual and auditory elements in order to generate a unique art experience on this newly popular platform.
We would appreciate the audience’s participation during this event, and therefore we will request all participants to turn on their cameras (aka share video) and unmute themselves during certain segments of the performance. While full participation is strongly encouraged, we understand that not everyone might feel comfortable showing their faces and lending us their voices, and there will be ample opportunity to participate in the event through the chat function.
The Keepers will be the second time the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum has collaborated with Lopes and Witek, and the fifth time working with Witek and her other collaborators. In 2015 we presented Lopes and Witek’s exhibition Currents/Correntes. In 2016 we hosted visual artist Matt Roberts and Witek for their interactive, multiple site-specific digital project Dream Garden. In 2017, we invited Roberts and Witek back to Flagler College who, alongside Denke Chen, performed Implements for Removing Foreign Bodies.
