Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation Supporting a vibrant performing arts center, advancing education and enriching communities with arts.

The arts have the power to inspire, connect, heal, and transform lives.

At Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation, we believe arts experiences should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background, ability, or circumstance.

Every performance, workshop, classroom experience, and community gathering is an opportunity to bring people together through creativity and shared human connection.

Because the arts aren't just for some of us.
Arts are for everybody.

This is us. (Part 1)

Long before we joined Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation, we were kids with big dreams, wild imaginations, and questionable haircuts.

Today, we're the people behind communications, events, programs, partnerships, and projects that bring the arts to our community. Meet members of the team behind the work.

Stay tuned for Part 2!

What a joyful morning at Mr. Stevey & Friends: Building Community at The Ringling! 💛

Thank you to all the families who joined us for a day filled with creativity, mindfulness, music, movement, storytelling, and connection. We loved seeing children and caregivers explore, learn, and create together.

A huge thank you to Mr. Stevey Meditates and our incredible teaching artists for helping build community through mindfulness activities, hands-on art experiences, and meaningful moments of joy and imagination.

We’re also grateful to our partners at The Ringling for hosting us and helping make these free arts experiences accessible for families across our community.
