Art Talk: Visionaries Reigniting Sarasota's Visual Arts Community

Art Talk: Visionaries Reigniting Sarasota's Visual Arts Community

The Colony artists put Sarasota on the map as a city with a vibrant visual arts scene. Over time, though, Sarasota has become better known for other art forms such as ballet, opera, and theater. While visual artists have continued to thrive, the lack of an overarching organization has diminished their public profile. The people you’ll hear from during this art talk - Jen Palmer, Judy Levine, Elizabeth Goodwill, Barbara Gerdeman, and Craig Palmer - have set out to let everyone know that the visual arts scene in Sarasota is stronger than ever.
