Artists Guild of Manatee General Meeting

The Artists Guild of Manatee opens its general meetings to the public, and the nonprofit says it welcomes feedback and collaboration from beyond its own membership. Formed in 1999, the guild started the Village of the Arts project in Bradenton, with the aim of building a neighborhood where artists live and work. That district now hosts monthly art walks and festivals such as the Wonder Wall Mural Festival, and the guild's board election comes in the spring, with applications to serve due beforehand.
