As a local artist, I love this art center! The staff has changed from top to bottom since the beginning of the pandemic and I know that they are going through some adjustments. It has always been a great place to enter and display art and share with the local community! Exhibits are always fun and they have had consistently high level jurors. A really great opportunity for all levels.
If you're considering exhibiting here, skip it. There's no notice to pick up art after an exhibition--no phone calls, no e-mails, nothing. I called to ask because we had received no notice, and they told us ASAP in the middle of the work week. I said I would get down before the week's end. I made time the next day to drive out of town, and can you believe we were charged $5 to pick up artwork that we already paid to submit? They made no mention of a late charge over the phone and when we had no pick up time, either. I bet they spent less on the ribbon for the award.
It seems like every time we visit, there is something new to see. We like to stop in from time time, and see what is being displayed. This place is free to visit. They do have a donation box.
While visiting the Art Center, I stumbled into a photo shoot for their largest fashion show of the year. This is a must see if you are in Sarasota.
Beautiful sculptures and magical things to look at everywhere!!! Everyone is very kind. My daughter and I had a great time checking it out!
