Milan Art Gallery — Attraction in Sarasota

I absolutely love this gallery — it’s a place I find myself returning to again and again to browse the ever-changing collection. Recently, I decided to take my appreciation a step further by commissioning a piece for one of their art competitions, and cannot wait to see the final pieces!

What makes this gallery so special is that it’s a true family-run business, with each member bringing their own unique talent and creative voice into the space. You can feel the passion and dedication in every corner, and that energy translates into the art itself.
