Village Arts Framing & Gallery is planning its 50th Anniversary Celebration Open House, to be held 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 12, at its Ponte Vedra Beach location in Sawgrass Village located between Chico's and The Hilton Garden Inn.
This milestone event honors five decades of dedication to fine art and expert framing and invites the community to join the celebration.
Founded in 1975, Village Arts has become a cornerstone of the local arts scene, known for its exceptional custom framing services and thoughtfully curated gallery. Owner Pamela Keegan and Gallery Manager Lisa Cederberg have made it their mission to preserve and showcase artwork with the highest level of care and professionalism. Using only archival-quality materials, they ensure every piece — from family heirlooms to contemporary masterpieces — is framed to last a lifetime.
The gallery represents 15 award-winning local artists, working in oil, watercolor, pastel and acrylic. Their diverse and vibrant works reflect the beauty, creativity and spirit of the region.
During the open house, guests will have the opportunity to meet some of these talented artists, explore their work and learn more about their creative processes. The gallery represents Eve Albrecht, Aurora Ave, Lisa Cederberg, Jami Childers, Jeffrey Desautels, Sandra Fitzsimmons, Carol Grice, Pamela Keegan, Lorraine Millspaugh, Tom Nagata, Rick Petersen, Karen F. Rose, Mary O. Smith, Missy Vanover and Cindy Zeigler.
This month’s featured artist is Tom Nagata. See his art as well as more than 150 works by the gallery’s artists. During the event the gallery invites visitors to enter a free drawing for an oil painting by artist Cindy Zeigler. Art enthusiasts, longtime patrons and new friends alike are encouraged to stop by, meet the artists and experience the warmth and creativity that have made Village Arts a beloved local institution.
