Venice Art Walk

There’s a usual or unusual art presence on the boardwalk at Venice, and the art varies from quite extraordinarily good, to hey i made this with garbage and used ketchup and mustard to paint it- can you tell- umm yes we can. I actually have had artists approach me and ask me to give them my opinion on what their art work is worth. For the most part my answer comes back as “what did you pay for the canvas?” This should be a fun time though, I’m sure we’ll be seeing the best of what Venice has to offer.

Many artists show off their style for 2 days on the boardwalk. Bid on art, tour homes, eat some great Venice food. All the proceeds go to benefit Venice Family Clinic, providing free, quality health care to people in need.
