About Cove
a gallery & boutique for the ocean-minded spirit.
Cove is nestled between the beach and bay on Bridge Street, Anna Maria Island. Inside you will find original work from over 25 local artists alongside gifts, crystals, books, and small treasures gathered with care. It is a shop, a gallery, and a place to slow down for a few minutes.
The Boutique
Gifts with a story behind them.
Crystals, books, cards, apparel, and small coastal treasures, each chosen because it sparks curiosity or simply brings joy.
The Community
A ripple that leaves the building.
Every purchase supports a working artist, and every visit helps keep a creative, independent shop alive on Bridge Street.
Meet the founder
Kelly.
Born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, Kelly built Cove as a place to share her own work alongside the creations of fellow local artists.
Cove began as a someday dream, pieced together from years of experience across crystal shops, island galleries, and studios. From crystals and original paintings to one-of-a-kind jewelry and hand-picked books and cards, the space is filled with the things that mean the most to her.
Thank you for supporting this community of creatives. Your presence helps us all shine and become part of the ripple that lifts us up.
