ASK OUR ARCHITECTS: A CONVERSATION WITH RENZO PIANO BUILDING WORKSHOP

SESSIONS 3-4 | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18

We invite you to join us for one of our two Community Town Halls on Wednesday, September 18th, where we'll share exciting updates about the vision for the new Sarasota Performing Arts Center.

The talented design team from Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) will reveal their initial design concepts, offering a glimpse of what’s to come. During the event, you'll get a first look at the latest ideas for the activities and spaces we hope to bring to life in this new state-of-the-art center. 

After the presentation, we’ll break into smaller groups, giving you the chance to engage directly with the architects, ask questions, and share your thoughts. These gatherings will not only inform you, but also spark meaningful conversations and inspire you to dream with us about the future of the arts in Sarasota. Your voice matters, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

These events will offer ASL interpretation.
