We loved the sound and light show. When we talked or exclaimed the lights on the walls and ceiling reacted with a crazy dance.
Founder and Curator Marietta (Mary) Lee was an emergency room nurse for many years and found art helped her to de-stress. Her passion to share her love of art is what led her to start this attraction. She had a great desire to share her collection at this museum and to create a space for people to relax and enjoy art. Her wish was that art be inclusive to all. A unique feature of this museum is half the artists are women, half men, and almost all are still living.
You can’t miss the museum on North Tamiami Trail as the exterior is painted bright pink with Key West accents.

While vehicle wait time has been shortened, boaters adjust to the new bridge time openings. Next time going off or coming on the Island you might try to avoid 15 and 45 past the hour. That is, unless you enjoy watching the boats lined up to pass under the bridge, which is be a truly beautiful site. It’s your vacation, we’ll let you decide.

Island Fresh Market is certainly one we can recommend. They specialize in local seafood and locally grown seasonal vegetables. Also selling spices and condiments to compliment your meal.
The owner/operator of Island Fresh Market, Nancy Feely, is a local island resident. Nancy’s passion is to serve fresh, sustainable products and foods. She partners with local vendors and suppliers who grow and produce products from sustainable sources. She strives for a green market, and whenever possible utilizes bio-degradable bags, food containers and cups and cutlery.
Some of Island Fresh Market’s Seafood selections include, whole fish, local, sustainable Seafood, wild-caught salmon. In season you can also purchase – Stone Crab, Oysters and Clams.
They have a nice assortment of house made chowders and soups, pastas, rice and assorted grains, sweet and savoury crackers and assorted Oriental and Italian condiments.
If that isn’t enough they offer fresh local salads, artichoke dip, seafood salad, Island veggie rolls with dipping sauces and a favourite of ours – Cap’t Rusty’s seafood spread.
And, that’s not all…how about some Homemade Dessert? You will have a hard time deciding between their Key Lime Pie, Richards Vegan & Raw fudge or Caramel Nut Bars.

At the grand opening on Friday of Holidays on the Green there was a featured meet and greet with Ana and Elsa and then a movie showing of Disney’s “Frozen”! The village will also feature various holiday character meet-and-greets throughout the season. There will be a list of characters updated on the mall’s holiday village website – mallatutc.com Read more here: //www.bradenton.com/news/business/retail/mall-at-university-town-center/article185334933.html#storylink=cpy

Each Saturday at 7 p.m. there are plans to show a holiday movie on a big screen. Classic movies such as, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Elf are some of the suggested, but not confirmed. Visit their website for an updated list.
There is also a free small off-track train that children can ride throughout the village.
The ice skating rink sitting under a tent filled with string lights, is equipped with real ice. The cost is $10 to rent skates and use the rink for 90 minutes. If the temperature is 78 degrees or below, the tent flaps will be open. Skating completely outside in the warm Florida air sounds inviting, doesn’t it?
