Art Galleries and Guilds on Anna Maria Island

Island Gallery West

The really special thing about this Island (well, one of them anyway) is that it attracts lots of people who have had wonderful careers and are the best in their field and they are drawn to the beauty of this place, because they are inspired by it. We have artists from all over the place, and some who are native, who grace our Island with their beautiful works. The Island boasts several galleries and lots of workshops all over. If you’re an artist, or you’re one of the many people who can appreciate art, you’ll find yourself right at home here.
