		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>A Legendary Artistic Experience</strong><br />
Sponsored by the Windsor of Ocala and the Marion Cultural Alliance</p>
<p><strong>Legends Senior Living</strong> operates residential communities in Florida, and now has a new facility in Ocala called the <strong>Windsor of Ocala</strong>.  You may have seen “Rana” on the grounds on SE 18th Avenue.  As part of its commitment to the communities it serves, Legends promotes the arts by providing an arts weekend each spring.<br />
Marti Roberson, director, is coordinating a weekend to benefit the Marion Cultural Alliance on<strong> April 30th – May 2nd. </strong></p>
<p>Imagine all the existing art coming off the walls, and your art on exhibit for sale.  This juried exhibit is an opportunity to show your work and meet the public on Sat. and Sunday. If you wish to demonstrate as well, you may do so on the grounds and courtyard.  A VIP reception will be held to introduce the participating artists on Friday<br />
evening.  Art will be accepted on <strong>Thurs., April 29th.</strong></p>
<p>In addition to art on the walls and demonstrations, music and the culinary arts will be featured as well. This will be a festive, first time event that is one more way to promote the role of art in the community, and we are happy to have the support of Legends<br />
Senior  Living.</p>
<p>We encourage your participation in the 1st Annual Legendary Artistic Experience hosted by Legends Senior Living. All proceeds from the event will be designated for a 2010 MCA Cultural Grant.<br />
 Minimum $20.00 donation to MCA Cultural Grants Program required to exhibit up to (5) pieces. Not including demonstration. 10% of sales go to the MCA Cultural Grant Program. </p>
<p>Complete both the <a href="http://www.mcaocala.com/?page_id=792">entry form</a> and participation form and send with your check made payable to:</p>
