Our mission is to promote ART in The Villages through whatever means necessary. We consider ART to include paintings, collages, ceramics, tapestry, needlework, quilts, weavings, crochet, knitting, woodworking, jewelry, mobiles and almost any other form of creativity you can think of. We offer classes, free demonstrations from guest artists, art films, art exhibits in Cribari Center and special events for the display and sale of members' art and crafts, such as Art in the Park, Holiday Fair, and the Home Studio Art Tour.
