Artists’ Guild features art by cancer survivors

The Artists’ Guild of Anna Maria Island is recognizing National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by spotlighting the work of member artists who have fought cancer.

All the artworks in the October display are available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds of the sales will be donated to a local cancer patient support organization, according to the Guild.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 5414 Marina Drive in Holmes Beach.

The Artists’ Guild of Anna Maria Island is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1989 to promote and support creative processes by bringing together artists to share experiences, expertise and work together to develop and promote the artistic community.
