Blvd Sarasota surrounded by arts & culture

A Peek At What Keeps Sarasota’s Arts & Entertainment Community Iconic

Posted on: August 16, 2018

An hour south of Tampa and an hour north of Fort Myers lies one of Florida’s most iconic coastal cities—Sarasota.

Sarasota is often referred to as the “the Culture Coast of South Florida” as it boasts a vast array of cultural destinations and experiences that highlight Sarasota Bayfront living.

The Ringling Museum stands as the hallmark of the community, where you can wander through 31 galleries filled with contemporary art pieces done by history’s Old Masters and exhibitions from various cultures around the world. Art walks and festivals are weekly occurrences and there are over a half-dozen different theater companies performing comedies, dramas, and live music across town on any given night. The Sarasota Orchestra, which is in its 52nd season, is the oldest running orchestra in the state. The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall always hosts a plethora of traveling shows that never disappoint, ranging from classic musical acts to modern Broadway revivals.

The community is very much committed to maintaining Sarasota as a hub for creativity and culture, which is reflected in the areas high fashion shopping (St. Armands Circle, Palm Avenue Shops) and modern architecture (Umbrella House, Rupp-Seibert House). One anticipated modern architecture project BLVD Sarasota, is now under construction in the renowned Rosemary Arts District. BLVD Sarasota is impeccably designed around luxury accommodations and amenities, and is pushing the boundaries of the medium embodying the areas cultural prowess while inhabiting one of the city’s most beautiful waterfront settings.
