The Da Vinci Machines Exhibition in Bradenton ...WHAT !
Bradenton is becoming an all-inclusive go to arts destination, a real front-runner. Coming In November 2013, an exhibit representing the work of one of the world’s greatest artists of all time is coming to Bradenton.
The Leonardo da Vinci Machines exhibit will be hosted by the Bradenton Auditorium for six months. Inventions such as a helicopter, catapult and bicycle will be featured.This amazing exhibit will bring in droves of people from the greater Tampa bay region and beyond.
The exhibit consists of over 60 machines recreated by Italian artisans using da Vinci’s drawings and designs as well as employing the same materials available in Leonardo’s time. The machines are divided into four galleries :Transportation, Military, Mechanical and Entertainment devices. Each device has a detailed description that explains its function and unique characteristics. Some of the machines are interactive, allowing students to operate the machine to see how they were intended to work.
Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most intriguing men in history – an ordinary person who did extraordinary things. He was an accomplished artist, designer, engineer, philosopher and scientist. In short, Leonardo da Vinci was the very embodiment of what we now think of as a Renaissance man.
- When Nov. 1st to the end of April

- It stimulates the local economy. A 2002 study done in Florida showed that for every $100 that was spent in a chain bookstore, only $13 of it was put back into the local economy. But that same $100 spent at a local, independently owned bookstore put $45 back into the local economy. Think of that next time you're deciding to get your coffee from a large chain or the local corner coffee house like Latte Luna.
- It helps locals keep their jobs. Most people who work in local businesses live locally. By buying from these places like The Chop Shop and The Treasure Chest . You help your neighbors keep their jobs and that benefits your whole community.
- Local businesses give back locally. Do you know who sponsors the little league and softball teams in your town? I do. The local corner coffee house, the corner bar, the independent ice cream parlor (is it beginning to sound like I live in Mayberry? It's not a bad comparison). I also know who donates gift certificates and baskets when the PTA is holding an auction or someone is holding a beef and beer night to raise money for a local cancer patient. It's the same businesses that sponsor's your kid's sports teams. By supporting these businesses, I help ensure that they can support the community.
- It's good for the environment. Less auto emissions occur when you're going only a few blocks (you could even walk or ride your bike) for what you need vs. traveling miles away to a big box store. If enough people buy locally, it could actually prevent a big box store — which usually devours open space and requires new roads to be built — from infiltrating your community. If you're buying locally grown food, it’s really good for the environment because you're helping the small farmers keep their farms operational instead of shutting down and selling to developers.
- It promotes a sense of community. If you want to get to know your neighbors and others in your community, supporting the local businesses is a great way to do that after all Bradenton is in the running for the friendliest city in america so say hello and meet some new people.
When I look at all the information I just cant understand why you would do anything else. support you local businesses and grow your town with pride and a sense of accomplishment
