Live! at Dowling Park Artist Series Celebrates 30th Anniversary Thirty years ago, Advent Christian Village’s Dick Grillo put together the first artist series season. At the time, ACV was approaching its 75th anniversary, and became Florida’s first retirement community to initiate and host an artist series for its own members as well as the surrounding communities.
