Art Crawl Trolley

Hop-on/Hop-off Art Crawl Trolley Downtown Sarasota

The 2nd Annual Art Crawl Trolley tour runs January 10, February 14, March 14, and April 11, 2025. During Art Crawl Trolley, visit more than 20 galleries and studios located in these Sarasota arts districts: Main Street, North Palm, South Palm, Burns Court, Towles Court, and the Limelight District. $5 from each ticket will be donated to The Arts & Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County.

Book your boarding time (every 15 minutes) on one of three trolleys that visit six different art district locations on a 45-minute tour route in downtown Sarasota.

Three trolleys run in rotation every 15 minutes from 4 PM – 8 PM. If you are unable to catch one of the trolleys back before 7:45 PM, you are welcome to take an Uber or walk back to the Trolley Cottage (1826 4th, St. Sarasota, FL 34236), where you started your tour.

No guide will offer any tour content but staff and volunteers will direct you to all galleries and tell you about each district.

Art Crawl Trolley
Last night we thoroughly enjoyed our trolley tour of three galleries! Jerry was our host for the tour and was informative and fun! Along with wine and nibbles available at each stop, the gallery owners and artists provided us with info on their artwork and collections. Between galleries we were introduced to many pieces of public art in Sarasota! All in all, it was a wonderful way to spend an evening and get to know more about the Sarasota Art Scene! — Kathy H.

Well worth the cost, try it… you too, will be very pleased.
Fun way to spend an evening. It ‘spotlighted’ several galleries we had not been to. Very helpful staff and it could not have been more easy to get around. It was a fun vibe with other guests as well. — Donna C.
