The Village of the Arts is a community of artists living and working together. With over thirty-five artists, the Village is Florida’s largest art community. Monthly ArtWalks fill the streets with art lovers looking for affordable fine art, jewelry, ceramics, small furniture, bookshops, clothing, collectibles, gourmet cafes and more. Be sure to visit the Village for numerous Village-wide special events throughout the year. They are listed on the left panel of this page. Check back often.

ArtWalks are the first weekend of every month:  Fri. 6 - 9:30pm & Sat. 11am - 4pm
