Welcome to the Village of the Arts...

where community and creativity come together in the most colorful way! Our historic cottages are home to award-winning restaurants, specialty shops, studios, healing arts, and some of Bradenton’s best art galleries.

Take a stroll through our streets and find something for everyone—whether you're into food, vinyl records, or quilts. You’ll also find services like massage therapy, Reiki, and yoga, and you can even take a class while you're here!

Join us for our popular Art Walks on the first Friday night and Saturday afternoon of every month, where you’ll find live music, delicious food, and one-of-a-kind local art. New this year is our Third Saturday Market, providing even more ways to enjoy the Village with live entertainment, tasty bites, and creative treasures. This is a great chance to meet your neighbors and make new friends!

We can't wait to welcome you!!

Many Thanks to Our Community Sponsors
