The Dancing Crane is the best of the galleries in the VOA in my opinion. It offers a great place for local artists to display work and is comfortable gallery space. It is a paid show gallery so artists do pay for space there but it is curated by the owner and staff and they do a great job with that. Of all the galleries in Bradenton, this would be the one that I would say is a must visit!

I love the kombucha samples and the selection of gems.Their dancing cranes make a great yard ornament in many colors.The Village of the Arts First |Friday event is a hit starting around 5 or 6 pm.Live entertainment and lots of artists open their studios including the Dancing Crane Gallery.

Fun Gallery in the village of the arts in downtown Bradenton near the ballfield. Colorful art featured which changes periodically.

The Dancing Crane Gallery features area artists on a rotating basis. Every two months a new set of artists bring in their work and set up. The First Friday opener gives visitors the chance to meet the artist,. enjoy a free glass of wine, nibble on little bites of heaven, just like the big city gallery openings. Throughout the month, they are open Thursday through Saturday and consistently have high quality art and jewelry. Buy unique gifts for loved ones, souvenirs of your visit, or the perfect art piece for your home.
