First Friday Artwalk Weekend Activities
Visiting the Village of the Arts during Artwalk Weekend? Here’s a list of things to do! Artwalks occur every month on the First Friday weekend. Hours are 6-9pm on First Friday and 11am-4pm on Saturday. Click on the active links for additional information on individual merchants. Note: This website and the Village map represent merchant members of the Artists Guild of Manatee. Other studios, galleries and businesses operate in the Village of the Arts that are not members of the Artists Guild, providing even more art opportunities for our visitors. As you walk around the Village, keep an eye out for open signs to businesses that may not be on the website or map.
Stroll through the Village on a self-guided or guided tour.
