Such clients include the City of Stuart, the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the YMCA of the Treasure Coast. On June 17th, many of those clients, as well as a slew of friends and supporters, joined Tara Biek Creative in celebrating an incredible 10 years of business. And in typical Tara Biek Creative style, there wasn't a lack of fun. Hosted at Key Lime Cafe in downtown Stuart, the fiesta, which entertained over 175 people through out the night, donned a DJ, a pi ata, a M.A.S.H wall, and a photo slide show. And with the excitement of reaching a rare-to-these-days milestone, the crew looks to even more encouraged commotion resting on the horizon. Recently, Tara Biek Creative took on another full-time employee and has secured an even bigger space, which is located in the Sawgrass Business Center off Indian Street in Stuart.
