As part of our commitment to bring art education into the community, the Budding Artist Competition was integrated within the Sarasota Open Air Fine Art Show held on January 15 & 16, 2022 outdoors at Phillippi Estate Park. All students in grades 6-12 or ages 9-19 were encouraged to enter his/her artwork that was publicly displayed within the art show. The program exposes students to the rules and entrepreneurship opportunity of doing art shows for a living.
