Sarasota Art Museum is a contemporary art museum located at the old Sarasota High School. The exhibitions on display are rotating, not permanent, meaning that there's always something new to see in the galleries. Sarasota Art Museum has 15,000 square feet of dedicated exhibition gallery space spread across three floors, as well as outdoor sculptures that can be seen on the Great Lawn. During your visit, you can also stop by the popular Bistro, a Florida farm-to-table restaurant that emphasizes local produce and artisanal specialty items. SHOP, the Museum Shop, is great for perusing carefully curated and often exclusive items, including artist specific collaborations and art books. Sarasota Art Museum also offers a variety of events and classes. Jazz Thursdays, Yoga in the Galleries, and Artist Talks are just some of the many events and programs offered. Adult ceramics, painting, drawing, and photography classes are offered year-round. There are also free art-making opportunities for all ages at Saturday Studios and Free Second Sundays.
