11th Annual Art at the Ranch Festival
Lakewood Ranch Saturday and Sunday
March 19 & 20, 2011
ArtCenter Manatee and LWR Communities are proud to present the 11th Annual Art at the Ranch Festival which will once again be
held on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Main Street is an upscale shopping promenade on Lake Uihlein. If you would
like information about the location, visit www.lakewoodranchrealestate.com/mainstreet.
Last year’s show, even though severe weather hit us on Sunday forcing us to close early, artists reported good sales,
commensurate with the economy. Easy access
to the area with plenty of parking and trolley transportation makes for an enjoyable show.
Art Opening Receptions
Each month, ArtCenter Manatee invites you to come to the opening reception for the exhibitions in the
main galleries. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer, hors d’oeuvres, music and
meet the artists. For dates and times, please refer to the
EXHIBITIONS.
