“Someone wrote: “Great place to find local art that makes you smile.”
That’s the case.
It is now part of our home and has survived 5000 miles unscathed.”
“Palm Ave. Art sets a different standard for what a great gallery should be. In addition to the world class artists they represent, they really provide extraordinary events that benefit the Sarasota community as a whole!”
“Lovely local art studio and shop! I get the most unique, hand made earrings and wine glasses here! Friendly Owner who also teaches classes! Very cool spot! You have to check them out!”
“I had some artwork printed by Miguel and his team and wanted to praise them for their excellent service and excellent quality of work. He provided me a printed proof with suggestions and my artwork turned out even better. I highly recommend using them for art printing services and will be a returning customer.”
“Amazing gallery with unique pieces - loved learning the meaning of the artwork from Rose who was the sales associate, offering her perspective of the artist. Purchased a beautiful tray with a teal blue glass insert. Would visit again on our next trip to Sarasota to see what is new!”
“Define Art Gallery is a recent and welcome addition to Palm Ave. I’ve truly enjoyed repeated visits to the gallery before finally buying a beautiful and intriguing painting. Both the owner and her employees provide a friendly and relaxed experience, introducing me to the various artists, their histories and styles. I love the youthful vibe, along with more traditional styles. There is a great mix of artwork, which makes me think young people starting a collection will find accessible painting that they’ll treasure over a lifetime. At the same time, there is plenty for an octogenarian like me to love.”
“Interesting gallery. Loaded with glass and regular art, mostly modern but not offensive. Rich Puckett was very helpful, with good details and explanations. If we lived in that area I could see going there to locate some art. A bit tough to find, along a strip outside downtown Sarasota, but parking around back makes it EZ.”
“What an absolute pleasure working with both Austin and Brandon! Very warm and knowledgeable and exceptional level of service and professionalism all around. Rare these days. Will return and will refer. ?”
“Every time we are visiting we nee to go to the Wyland Galleries! Such an unique place. Hope they did well after the hurricanes. Can’t wait to be back in April.”
“Erica’s Serendipitous Satori shop at Towles Court Artist Studios is a gem! It’s an expertly curated selection of estate finds, repurposed items, and Erica’s own unique jewelry designs — all reasonably priced. Go say hello! I guarantee at least one of the treasures on display will call your name!”
“I want to tell you about the auction I attended at Sarasota Trading this morning and afternoon. Beautiful Glass, china, paintings, and most of all wonderful presentation. Thanks Andrew Ford for the classy auctioneer skills. I also have dealt with Sarasota Trading in selling my mom's custom and costume jewelry and pieces of art I inherited but were not going to fit into a baby boomer's life. Mine. We have been friends for 14 years. He is a valuable, trustworthy resource as is his wife Lathrop and their helpful staff.”
“Listening and exploring spiritual practice in the form of appreciation as I listen to a well spoken monk was truly inspirational for my Day. Thanks John look forward to meeting you again. Also the art here is a beautiful sight of deep culture. A must to see.”
“The pasta at this place is super. I recommend trying “Pear Gorgonzola Sashes” it was excellent. Thank you very much Daniel for your attention and suggestion.”
“I purchased a bronze sculpture for the Children's Hospital of Richmond from Chasen Galleries Richmond. The transaction, delivery and installation was seamless.”
“My wife and I randomly walked into AlexArt International Gallery after a very nice dinner. We were embraced by Fabio and Alexa from the moment we walked in the door. The art was some of the best we have ever seen. We shared some great stories about Italy. We purchased a painting along with Fabio's book who was kind enough to sign it for us. They gave us a special present before leaving which will be displayed in one of our houses. On our next visit to Sarasota we will be sure to stop in again. Liz & Jim.”
“As a local artist, I love this art center! The staff has changed from top to bottom since the beginning of the pandemic and I know that they are going through some adjustments. It has always been a great place to enter and display art and share with the local community! Exhibits are always fun and they have had consistently high level jurors. A really great opportunity for all levels.”
