Inspire yourself at the Visual Arts Center, Punta Gorda
At the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda, you can savor the art on display, browse through an extensive art library, take a workshop, or pick out an original gift from the gift shop. There are four main galleries with 12 shows per year, and more than 3,000 art books, tapes, and DVDs in their library – an art student or researcher’s dream destination! The Charlotte County Art Guild, Inc. started this effort in 1961, and my, how it’s blossomed … just the like the surrounding neighborhood with its historic homes and lush tropical plants. In the courtyard you’ll see a fountain preserved from Punta Gorda’s first hotel.
Classes are offered year-round Admission is free; donations appreciated. Open Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, Sat 10am-2pm.
