Sarasota
Cultural Calendar, or the Sarasota Area Cultural
Venue, including the Englewood & Venice communities.
The cultural capital of Southwest Florida,
the Sarasota area is a mecca for artists,
musicians, writers and patrons of the arts. The county’s cultural
attractions put those of much larger cities to shame with two
symphonies, an opera house, a world-class ballet company, numerous
playhouses and a plethora of art galleries.
John and Mable
Ringling bequeathed to Sarasotans', among other things, one of the
most beautiful museums in the United States, with a collection
recognized internationally for its Baroque paintings, including John
Paul Rubens’ Triumph of the Eucharist series. When the state took
over the gift in 1948, it added the exquisite 18th
century Asolo Theater from Asolo, Italy, and the Ringling Museum of
the Circus.
Sarasota is not only home to nearly four times
as many performing artists as any other part of Florida, but stage
actors from around the globe come to train at the Asolo Theater
Festival, while the Ringling School of Art and Design turns out
numerous sculptors and
painters.
