University Park, FL — University Park Country Club is proud to present the 26th annual Art in the Park, one of the longest-running fine art exhibits and sales in the Sarasota/Bradenton region. Open to the public on March 14–15, 2026, this celebrated event will showcase more than 60 professional and non-professional artists and over 150 works of art.

Visitors will enjoy an exceptional variety of mediums, including large and small-scale paintings, mixed media, photography, sculpture, prints, and note cards.

This is a juried art show with cash prizes; this year's scheduled judges include Maria Lyle, Judy Lyons, and Janet Mishner. Attendees will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece to determine the coveted People’s Choice Award.

This year’s exhibition will take place indoors in the Lakeside Room from 10 AM to 5 PM each day. Guests are invited to extend their visit with lunch, brunch, or a glass of wine while taking in scenic views of the University Park Country Club championship golf course. Free admission and parking.
