It should come as no surprise, but Anna Maria Island has long since enjoyed a reputation as a haven for artists. Why not take a look at some of their work while you are visiting, or even take some of it home with you. What a perfect reminder of your stay in paradise.
Anna Maria Island Art League
The Art League was founded in 1989 by a small group of artists and art lovers with a desire to bring art to the island community. In June 1993 the Art League opened the island’s first art center in Holmes Beach, Florida. The Art Center facility includes a large exhibit/classroom, membership gallery/conference room, photo lab, art library and picnic grounds where the League offers a broad range of classes, including a scholarship program for children and adults. Annually the League sponsors Winterfest and Springfest, two juried fine arts and fine crafts festivals that provide funds for the art center and its scholarship fund.

Artists Guild Gallery
The Artists' Guild of Anna Maria Island, a non profit organization, was formed in 1989. The goal was to promote and support creative processes by bringing together all artists - visual and performing and writers – to share experiences, expertise and work together to develop and promote the artistic community on the island. They held the first weekend art festival on Anna Maria Island that fall. In February 1990 The Artists' Guild Gallery was opened in Holmes Beach to display the work of member artists. Today members continue to volunteer to work at the gallery. In the winter season, demonstrations are presented and member artists are featured monthly in an art opening reception. The public is invited to attend all functions, which are free.
