The Ringling estate contains two circus museums a fine art museum and a theater. If you’re an outdoors person there are still great art opportunities in Sarasota. The first Wednesday of the month there is an evening performing arts show on the St, Armand’s Circle. There are also live performances in downtown Sarasota on Friday nights where you can take in dinner and a show.

Jim Shirley, the Sarasota County Executive Director of the Arts and Cultural Alliance said “We are thrilled that Sarasota has received the designation as the number one Small City in the Nation for the arts. This is truly a testament to all the artists, organizations, donors, volunteers and civic leaders who call this wonderful community home."
