Hot Works Sarasota Fine Art Show is one of America’s premier juried fine art and craft shows — ranked among the Top 100 Art Shows in America 18 times by Sunshine Artist Magazine and Art Fair Source Book.
The event is held 100% outdoors at the Sarasota Art Museum, located in south Sarasota, with high visibility from US-41/Tamiami Trail and plenty of close-by parking. The Museum — a transformation of the historic Sarasota High School — is Sarasota’s only museum focused solely on contemporary art, offering rotating exhibitions, educational programs, and a space to engage with today’s most compelling artists.
What Makes This Show Special
Top-Quality Artists: Featuring a carefully juried selection of artists selling original, handmade art across painting, sculpture, glass, clay, photography, wood, fiber, mixed media, jewelry, and more.
Rigorous Jurying: Artists are chosen for originality, technique, execution, and booth presentation.
For Every Collector: Art in all price ranges ensures there’s something for everyone.
Youth Art Competition: Students (K–8 or 6–12) display original art during the show. Winners receive cash prizes at a special Sunday 3 PM award presentation — inspiring the next generation of artists.
Community Focus: Hosted by the Institute for the Arts & Education (501c3), supporting visual arts, cultural diversity, and youth art education.
Vibrant Atmosphere: Free admission (optional donations support the arts), great food, and live entertainment.
Marketing & Promotion
We work with local media — WEDU PBS, WUSF 89.7 Public Radio, Suncoast News Network, Jewish News, Longboat Key News, Sarasota City News, and Landings Eagle — and distribute banners, postcards, and posters throughout the community to reach serious art collectors.
Logistics
Tents: Lightdomes ($250) and ProPanels ($150) available for rent.
