Village of the Arts
Established just seven years ago, this unusual art district
is already establishing a phenomenal reputation.  A place where artists live, work and prosper, the energy is contagious. 
Currently there are over 30 studios and galleries, easily
recognized by their uniquely colorful facades.  Several galleries recently were featured on HGTV's "What's with that house?" 
Please join us during an Artwalk and stroll the streets of
our little village, drop into the open galleries and admire the
arts and crafts, enjoy our culinary delights, take in the music,
scent, and ambiance of life at a leisurely pace.

A unique Book Gallery spotlighting the diversity and talent of Florida authors presents both self-published and traditionally published books. With the shrinking pool of traditional publishers producing fewer titles every year, thousands of authors have chosen to self publish or been picked up by small boutique publishing companies.  Without the clout of the major publishers, there are few outlets to sell and showcase their work.

Village Voices will be their voice. A home not only for their work but where writers and readers can gather for book discussions, and writing critiques.  Workshops will be scheduled along with editing services and there will be an onsite cookie shop with coffee or soda available for refreshments.

During Artwalks and on Saturdays, there will be author signings where fans can meet and speak to our featured author of the week.

In addition to the book gallery, there will be various forms of visual arts available and on sale throughout other rooms in the emporium. The kitchen will feature culinary art in the form of homemade cookies, overlooked by shelf-sitters and cookie jars. Also on display throughout the art rooms will be boot jewelry, crafts, gifts, and fine arts.

Out back in our exotic gardens we will feature outdoor art, starting with Manatee mailboxes, decorative Florida planters and garden statuary by artists in West Palm Beach. Tiki Totems, fountains, unique gourd planters, and suncatchers designed by dynamic new artists will displayed amid exotic hard to find plants.

Please come join us for an adventure in eclectic artistry.
