HOLMES BEACH – Art is alive and well in Holmes Beach. Friday, Dec. 10 marked the return of the Art Walk, and not only were the city’s two galleries open late for the event, but many of the other businesses in the area were as well.
Participating businesses include the Artists’ Guild Gallery, The Feast, Restless Natives, Sun and Surf Beach Shop, Original Sand Dollar, The Scavenger Market and Island Gallery West.
“We got ice cream, some souvenirs and saw some great local art. I’m trying to justify spending $300 on a painting of a sea turtle,” said Allison Reynolds, of Detroit. “We just want something we can put in a prominent place in our home and think of Anna Maria Island every time we see it.”
If you weren’t able to make it to this Art Walk, the next one is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 14, and the second Friday of each month thereafter.
