  • THE SARASOTA PLAYERS

    We were so pleased with everything during our donor reception, and we look forward having more events at the Arts Center. It was really nice working with you and you were so very helpful!

  • COLDWELL BANKER

    Art Center Sarasota exceeded our expectations for our corporate meeting venue. Amanda was amazing and our attendees had a wonderful time and enjoyed being somewhere "different" for a corporate meeting. We are hoping to work with you again in the future.

    ACS gallery openings are always the highlight of the week for me. The space is always beautifully decorated with something new to see. ACS is a great community of vibrant people and I love being part of it!
