Left of Center Gallery

Located in the Village of the Arts in Bradenton—recognized as the largest artist colony on Florida’s west coast—Left of Center Gallery is one of the longest continually operating galleries in the district. Now celebrating over 20 years in the Village, the gallery has become a cornerstone of the local arts community.

Resident artist Randy Blahna is a contemporary, multi-media painter known for his bold compositions, vibrant color palettes, and unconventional canvas formats. His work often departs from traditional proportions, incorporating unique shapes and triptych-style presentations that add dimension and visual impact.

Left of Center Gallery also represents two accomplished glass artists. Patty Holland creates distinctive works in stained, fused, and slumped glass, blending craftsmanship with expressive design. The artisans of Bottle Benders transform recycled glass bottles into imaginative and melodic chimes, combining sustainability with artistry.

The gallery is located at 1013 11th Avenue West, Bradenton, Florida, and can be reached at 941-518-1536.
