PLYMOUTH HARBOR

THE PLACE TO PURSUE PASSIONS Professional artist Scott Pike used his creative talents in everything from comic book illustration to story boarding TV commercials before he and his wife, Margi decided to move to Plymouth Harbor. It is not just the views or the airy art studio available to all residents, but the entire community that keeps them inspired with their decision to call Plymouth Harbor home.

When quality of life, smart planning and freedom to pursue passions and new interests are top priorities, Plymouth Harbor is the wise choice.

Call us today for a tour of our award-winning campus, luxury accommodations and amenities.

ithin the pages of this year’s Guide to Arts & Culture you will dis-

cover the wonderful array of arts and cultural offerings in Sarasota County and the surrounding areas.

We invite you to visit one of our many theatres, and discover our

rich circus heritage. In Sarasota County, ballet and modern dance take center stage; and there’s not a moments silence thanks to the opera and orchestra.

Explore classic and emerging visual artists, or become an artist yourself! Realize the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast at Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

Sarasota County also has a rich cultural history. Learn about Bertha Palmer at Historic Spanish Point, and become a Florida cracker at the Crowley Museum and Nature Center.

You’ll quickly realize the arts and culture of Sarasota County are exceptional by any standard! We hope this guide will help you find and enjoy the many cultural treasures that make Sarasota County a special place to visit and live.

For the most current information on events, calls to artists and other opportunities in the arts check out SarasotaArts.org. And be sure to sign up for ARTbeat, the Sarasota County Arts Council’s FREE weekly enewsletter. It’s a great way to stay informed about the latest news on arts and culture in our community.
