This area of Bradenton originally consisted of 1920's style architecture.[1] From May 31, 1937 until the site was home to the Bradenton General Hospital. Some of the buildings used for galleries and homes are as old as 100 years.[2] Live-work spaceThe Village is a diverse collection of artists, galleries and fine food. Artisians from the Village of the Arts received regulatory relief from the city of Bradenton allowing artist-in-residences to live and work out of their homes.[3] At one time, the houses in this area of Bradenton were considered dilapidated and an eyesore. Most have been restored, painted in colorful hues and pastels,[4] and converted into workshops, studios, medical facilities, family activities, galleries and cafes.
