“What a charming little place to get creative or throw a party! We took a pottery class and loved every minute of it- our instructor was super cool and even more patient. The boutique itself has a lot of cute items made by local artists and is fun to dig around in.”
“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.”
“Art Avenue Gallery brings a vital new look to downtown Main Street. Work is high quality, presentation is very dramatic and beautifully placed. The new gallery is worth the visit. Jamie Kirkell”
“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.”
“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.”
“My 8 year old attended a workshop here & absolutely loved it. She learned new painting techniques & was able to come home with her masterpieces. Mara’s space is gorgeous & I can’t wait to take a class of my own there! I also bought a tray from the front boutique area and constantly receive compliments on it.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The people at Helmuth Stone Gallery have been absolutely wonderful and accommodating. There was a piece of art that I was interested in, as it was space related and fit well within my family’s home. I was lucky enough to be able to acquire it thanks to the team here. I can’t say enough how great my experience was, and I look forward to hanging the art piece on our wall where we hope it will inspire my family’s career goals.”
“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.”
“Towles Court Artist Colony is a creative haven, bustling with diverse talents and unique artistic expressions. The vibrant atmosphere and the opportunity to engage with artists make it an inspiring destination for art enthusiasts”
“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.”
“A beautiful gallery with beautiful jewelry and beautiful people. Everyone should go and see for themselves. But be aware it is hard to go in without buying something.”
“Beautiful store! Nice, friendly owner who cares about his customers and provide informative info on anything you ask regarding African Art. It's rare that you find such a quality place.”
