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.
