Art Center Trees

During the holiday season the Venice Art Center features an extravagant display of artfully decorated trees.  This year the central tree is decked out in gold and white with splashes of red among it's flowers, sea shells, cherubs and baubles. 

An abundance of smaller trees are also bedecked in a verity of colors and themes.  There is also an abundance of local art to enjoy here, including several Christmas themed paintings, I particularly enjoyed a very close up portrait of Santa with his hat hanging on the corner.

The center is open all year long Monday through Saturday 9-5 except major holidays.  It features the work of many local artists, traveling exhibitions, and many classes for artists to enhance their skill.  The Art Center is at 390 Nokomis Ave. Right across from the public library and adjacent to the community center.
