Art on Anna Maria Island


After a 2 years absence, I am pleased to see art remains alive and well on Anna Maria. Many people come for the beautiful outdoor activities and are delighted when they discover a history museum, orchestra, choir, theatre and fine arts. Island Gallery West at 5368 Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach has weekly Saturday art demos. Artist Shirley Dean will demo acrylics on January 15 and Jane Keeling will demo oils on Janurary 22. You can pick up a pink sheet with the listing for they year which range from watercolor to painting on glass and wood. My friend Barbara Hines will demo watercolor whimsy on March 19.
