Twenty years ago, The Villages Art League started out in the arts and craft room at Paradise Recreation Center with a small number of people. Now, the art leagues meet Mondays at Saddlebrook Recreation Center, Thursdays at Mulberry Grove Recreation Center, and Saturdays at Paradise Recreation Center.
The art league soon decided it required to display the works of its artists, so the group held an event at La Hacienda Center. Finally, the artists took over all of the rooms in the building, which led to the Artists’ Showcase, which is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the banquet rooms at Savannah Center.
Then, three years ago, the idea of adding an art show during the summer came up. Festivalgoer’s can enter to succeed several door prizes, and they can take part in a few chance drawings. Several artists have donated their works to be given away as prizes, including international artists Tom Jones and Yolanda Mayhall.
