Art in the Park – The Bay

Start your month with a splash of creativity at Art in the Park, a free community art session held the first Friday of every month from 10 to 11 AM at The Bay’s Ibis Playground Pavilion in downtown Sarasota. Surrounded by the beauty of Sarasota Bay, participants of all ages are invited to unwind, connect, and explore their artistic side under the guidance of Art Center Sarasota teaching artists.

Each session offers a new, hands-on project—no experience required, and all materials are provided. It’s a relaxed, social way to kick off your weekend while enjoying fresh air, friendly faces, and a creative spark to carry you through the day. Registration is requested to help organizers plan for supplies.
