The Fabulous Arts Boutique brings together inspired artists from area craft guilds who work in traditional American Art forms: wearable art, beaded jewelry, hand wovens, basketry, hand turned wood, needle weaving, decorative crafts and more. FAB artists offer innovative designs that blend the art of the old with a modern twist. Many of these dazzling works are one-of-a-kind. This annual exhibit and sale features extraordinary works from: The Manasota Weavers Guild, The Florida West Coast Bead Society, Surface Design Guild Sarasota and the Venetian Society of Basket Weavers. The show and sale happens just in time to get that someone special a Valentine’s gift they’ll never forget, or find yourself a treasure!
