Art Club

Presented by Friendly City Foundation, this monthly Art Club brings together artists, musicians, and other creatives for hands-on making, connection, and practical resources centered on the independent arts. The evening begins with casual networking alongside a happy hour menu, then moves into a warm welcome and introductions.

An artist talk highlights the paths and practices of industry leaders, followed by an art hour and studio session that encourage creating, sharing, and collaboration across disciplines. The gathering aims to strengthen community ties, spark new ideas, and support ongoing creative growth.

Hosted at Oscura in the Old Manatee Historic District of Bradenton, Florida, it offers a friendly setting to meet peers, learn from experienced voices, and explore ways to build your skills.
