A GATEWAY TO CONNECT

COMMUNITY

AND CULTURE.

In 2018, the Sarasota City Commission approved the Bayfront master plan with a new performing arts center at the heart of the Bay Park that will become the nexus of performing arts in our region for generations to come.

We’re partnering with the city of Sarasota and the Bay Park Conservancy to bring an exciting new dream to life — a fully accessible campus built to nurture excellence in artists, inspire wonder in audiences, and spark curiosity in learners!

A PREEMINENT DESTINATION

FOR ARTS

IN THE NATION

Throughout the creation and development of the City of Sarasota’s master plan for the Sarasota Bayfront, there was one vision that remained steadfast: to deliver a cultural and economic legacy that serves future generations and represents the wishes and desires of our community based on direct engagement, feedback and insight.
