Culture

Sarasota County offers a heady mix of culture, putting larger cities to shame with two symphonies, an opera house, a world-class ballet company, numerous playhouses and a plethora of art galleries. John and Mable Ringling bequeathed to Sarasotans one of the most beautiful museums in the United States, with a collection recognized internationally for its Baroque paintings. Sarasota is not only home to nearly four times as many performing artists as any other part of Florida, but stage actors from around the globe come to train at the Asolo Theater Festival, while the Ringling School of Art and Design turns out numerous sculptors and painters.
