Art lovers, get ready! Art Center Sarasota is shaking things up this summer with the unveiling of four new exhibitions that’ll run from May 21 to July 31, 2026. As part of their Centennial Season, these exhibitions promise to showcase an exciting blend of contemporary art, architecture, and personal narratives that reinforces Sarasota’s status as a cultural gem in Florida.

One standout is “Composed,” by Anja Palombo, who explores the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. With a background steeped in international art education, her pieces promise to captivate visitors. Then there’s “Living by the Water” by Cat Tesla, whose work reflects her journey from genetic counseling to full-time artist, inspired by the healing powers of coastal living.

Don’t miss “Designing the Cultural Coast,” co-curated by Morris Hylton III, which celebrates Sarasota’s rich architectural heritage filled with stunning visual art. And for those looking for a challenge, “Medium Mutiny” pushes the boundaries of traditional media, showcasing innovative works that blur the lines between craft and fine art. Mark your calendars for the opening reception and prepare to be inspired by the amazing creativity the summer has to offer!
