Local creatives participate in return of Artists in the Garden
The second annual "Artists in the Garden" showcase recently launched as part of the month-long Arts in April festivities on Longboat Key. Held outside the Longboat Island Chapel, the two-day exhibition featured thirteen local artists, including Marie Therese Lacroix, Collin Rowland, and Reid Ryan Gerletti, who presented works ranging from oil paintings to furniture crafted from reclaimed wood. The event reported strong sales, with 30% of proceeds donated to the Longboat Key Foundation to support community improvement projects.
