Welcome to the Village of the Arts
Hello Village Friends!
A place 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!!

ADD TO CALENDARWar on the WEEDS
Join us on April 8th for our Spring event to help make a difference in our community!
We have declared war on the weeds that have taken over our sidewalks, street signs, and telephone poles. Our big supporter, Mayor Gene Brown, is joining forces with us, providing weed wackers, rakes, and other tools to help us in our mission. We have trailers ready to fill up with weeds, and we're excited to make a positive impact. This event will be a Spring and Fall event, so mark your calendars and come out to help us make a difference!
