Our new speaker series, Art, Actually, explores how art intersects with identity, community, and change through conversations with artists, curators, and cultural leaders.

“Art, Actually” is a community-centered speaker series at ACS that explores the role of art in shaping Sarasota’s cultural identity—past, present, and future. Each session highlights the voices of local artists, cultural leaders, and creative thinkers as they reflect on how art connects us, tells our shared stories, and inspires meaningful dialogue. Grounded in Sarasota’s rich artistic legacy, this series celebrates the power of creativity to build community and spark change. $15 for New Friends of the Art Center. Free for Members.
