30 Years and Counting!

In April 1990, Island Gallery West was created by a small core group of local artists in Holmes Beach on Florida’s Anna Maria Island. Our gallery has evolved into a successful artists’ cooperative of nearly thirty members. We offer paintings, drawings, photographs, mixed media, ceramic arts and pottery, jewelry, glass mosaics and much more. Each month of the year, the work of a different artist is highlighted as Featured Artist. A number of our artists teach, or have taught classes, at ArtCenter Manatee.

Our gallery is staffed by knowledgeable member artists, who welcome the opportunity to discuss with you the gallery’s art and award-winning artists. We look forward to providing a pleasant, relaxing visit and a constantly changing collection of art on display. You’ll discover all the variety and visual stimulation of an art festival in an attractive and convenient year-round gallery setting.

A Facebook Live interview is held at 5:00 pm on the first Friday of each month. Tune in to “Fridays at 5” to see the Featured Artist and hear about the inspiration and methods used to create the works and to preview the exhibit. www.facebook.com/islandgallerywest.

Call 941-778-6648 or check the website for an updated schedule of events. www.islandgallerywest.com

Island West Gallery is located at 5368 Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, Trolley Stop 15, on Anna Maria Island. Gallery hours are 10 am to 5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday. Per county and city regulations, masks are required. Hand sanitizer is available.

Peter Stilton: Walking in the Morning Light – A World More Bright
Curated Exhibit
Jan 5-29, 2021
Searle Gallery

For over half a century, renowned artist Peter Stilton has enjoyed a successful career in the United States and abroad with solo exhibitions from Los Angeles to Paris, from Tampa to New York and beyond. His work can be found in private and corporate collections world-wide.

“I have a cinematic mind that doesn’t see arbitrary distinctions or boundaries between music (audio) and painting (visual) or writing (mental). But I do feel an impulsion to share what I hear, see, feel and think which I find so involving and inspiring. Time is not relevant because the spirituality of the art and humanities transcend that materials concept. The arts tend towards a universality that does not include ages, races or any material limitations.”
