Bradenton In Running As One Of Best Small Cities For Arts

The public can vote for the city online at AmericanStyle.com through March 5.

Bradenton is once again in the running to be named AmericanStyle Magazine's best arts destination among small-sized cities.

The Friendly City checked in at No. 22 on last year's list and was one of three Florida towns in the top 25, joining Key West (No. 4) and Sarasota (No. 5). Those cities are all finalists again in the small cities category on the online ballot.

The deadline for voting is March 5. The results will be revealed in the magazine's Summer 2011 issue.
