Hot Works’ Sarasota Fine Art Show is held outdoors at the Sarasota Art Museum, located in south Sarasota. The art show is held 100% outdoors in their parking lot, with high visibility from US-41/Tamiami Trail – and has plenty of close-by parking.
In 2003, a group of 13 forward-thinking Sarasotans came together to further their goal of enhancing Sarasota’s rich cultural landscape with a contemporary art museum. After a two-year dialogue with area arts, educational, and community leaders, the Sarasota Art Museum partnered with Ringling College of Art and Design to transform the historic Sarasota High School into an art museum and visual arts educational center.
Sarasota Art Museum is a catalyst for appreciation and understanding of the art of our time. As a platform for exposure, education, and experimentation, the Museum inspires new ideas and new ways of being through an endless rotation of transformative, relevant, and pioneering exhibitions. As Sarasota’s only museum solely focused on contemporary artists and their work, SAM offers visitors a place to see thought-provoking exhibitions and participate in education programs that start conversations and amplify the city’s creative spirit.
