The Caladium Arts and Crafts Cooperative was created in 1992 by three Lake Placid, Florida artists: Carol Mills, Harriet Porter, and Suellen Robinson. They envisioned it as a place for local artists and crafters to display and sell their unique creations. It is now an artist run gallery & classroom offering original, handcrafted arts and crafts for any person in your life or room in your house.

Our prices are lower than those in big city shops, though our quality is every bit as good. Bring your friends and spend a delightful time exploring our 10,000 square foot gallery.
