Only on Sarasota Bay can you find an international art collection, the world’s largest circus miniature, a jewel-box Italian theater, historic banyans and thousands of roses surrounding the Venetian-Gothic mansion of a circus king.

The Art of Our Time For those devoted to the possibilities of the arts and their future in Sarasota, there has never been a more rewarding time to become a Museum member. The Art of Our Time is changing our cultural landscape, presenting exhibitions and performances that explore the rich diversity of ideas and forms at play in the world today.

New Installations A triumph of technology, engineering and aesthetics, James Turrell’s newly-installed Skyspace gives viewers a heightened awareness of light, sky and ambient sound. With this addition

to our permanent collection, we join a small fraternity of international museums to house a work by this modern master.

Making Partnerships Possible Your membership furthers our commitment to making the Museum an ever-expanding resource for both students and educators across the state of Florida and beyond. Your participation also helps the Museum foster partnerships with leading arts organizations which brings an extraordinary range of established and emerging artists to the Historic Asolo Theater.

A Lasting Legacy On-site programs, school tours, access for college students: your membership helps support the Museum’s many programs for young people—

Be part of art: explore your passion; share your experience; expand your knowledge.
