Join us for the St. Armands Circle Art Festival, held in the stunning island paradise of St. Armands Key, just a short drive from Sarasota. Known for its fine shops, gourmet dining, and rich history, this enchanting destination is transformed each year into an outdoor gallery showcasing 200 talented artists.

This year, we’re thrilled to feature the latest palm tree paintings by artist Leon F. Ruiz. His vibrant work captures the energy and beauty of Florida’s tropical landscapes, offering a glimpse into the state’s natural charm.

Beyond Ruiz’s captivating collection, you’ll discover a wide variety of artwork, including sculpture, photography, glass, ceramics, jewelry, and more. It’s a unique opportunity to meet the artists, commission custom pieces, and learn about the inspirations behind their creations.

St. Armands Circle itself is a premier destination for arts, dining, and shopping, continuing the vision of John Ringling with over 130 stores and restaurants encircling the iconic park. Visitors can explore Circle Park, featuring restored statues from Ringling’s original collection, and the Circus Ring of Fame, honoring legendary performers. Just steps from the crystal blue waters of Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle embodies the upscale, tropical lifestyle that has defined Sarasota for nearly a century.

This is an event you won’t want to miss!
