SUMMARY:Art from the Heart: Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:The Ringling presents: “Art from the Heart: Connectivity” – a celebration of the extraordinary creativity\, remarkable talent\, and resilience of neurodivergent artists as they navigate their unique challenges through self-expression. This exhibition highlights the transformative power of art as a medium for storytelling\, healing\, and connection. Each piece is a testament to the artist’s voice and vision\, inviting viewers to engage with diverse perspectives. \n\n\nIn partnership with Streets of Paradise\, an organization dedicated to combating homelessness with dignity and grace\, this exhibit emphasizes our collective commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. By fostering connections through creativity\, we celebrate not only individual artistry but also the bonds that unite us. In a world where connection can often be overlooked\, this exhibition serves as a reminder of the strength found in shared experiences and the beauty that emerges when we embrace each other’s journeys. Together\, we can create a tapestry of understanding and compassion through art. \nThe museum’s located at 5401 Bayshore Rd but the grounds are pretty huge so I made this map JUST FOR YOU to help you find your way. \n\n\n\n\nI’ll update this if I find out otherwise\, but here’s my current understanding. Admission to the museum is a little PRICEY but admission to the gardens is only $5. And that’s all you need to see this exhibit as the gallery hosting this exhibit is open to anyone/everyone on the grounds. Or you can just go on a Monday when it’s free. (Every Monday\, the entirety of the museum is free to the public). It’s also free (always) to anyone with a SNAP\, WIC\, or other EBT card.\n\nMuseum hours are 10am to 5pm Friday through Wednesday. On Thursday\, they stay open until 8pm.\nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:WINDOW exhibition
DESCRIPTION:I’ve been rotating paintings in and out of the big storefront windows at Parker’s Book Bazaar in downtown Sarasota (southwest corner of Main & Lemon). Depending on the day\, you’ll find at least one of my bigger paintings (and maybe as many as three) up on display. Even when the store’s closed\, the art’s accessible and lit so stop by anytime. \n\nParker’s is now also offering a selection of my prints for sale\, so GO BUY THEM \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:Rooted and Radical: The Art of Queer and Trans Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Fabulous Arts Foundation Presents: Rooted & Radical: The Art of Queer & Trans Resilience\, an exhibition celebrating strength\, heritage\, and the transformative power of creative expression. \n“Rooted & Radical” explores the deep connections queer and trans individuals have to their communities\, cultural legacies\, and personal journeys. Artworks should reflect themes of resilience\, self-discovery\, resistance\, healing\, and radical self-expression. \nJoin Us in Showcasing the Power of Queer & Trans Art \nThis exhibition is more than a showcase—it’s a statement of resilience\, a reclamation of space\, and a celebration of creative defiance. \n\nIf you’re wondering\, “WHY IS SAM IN A SHOW FOR QUEER AND TRANS ARTISTS? Is Sam queer or trans?” Well\, I’m definitely not trans\, have never identified as queer\, and all my relationships have been heterosexual (Of Pride events I’ve done\, I’ve joked that I’m “putting the plus in LGBT+”). That said\, I really fucking dislike the word “man” and traditional masculinity isn’t anything I identify with. (I delight at being called a “FAGGOT”). I’m not especially fond of the word “woman” either though and certainly don’t identify with that at all. Seeing as I’ve used he/him pronouns since I was born\, have no problem with that\, and I think can pretty safely be described as “presenting male\,” I don’t think it makes any sense to call me gender fluid (or anything like that) either. Ultimately\, gender doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just not a useful concept in my life or for my identity. I realize that it is helpful or empowering for some other people; just not for me. \nAnd all of that ties into the central point of the largest painting I’ve got in this exhibition. So go check it out. \n(Regarding all of the above\, if anyone thinks those beliefs and attitudes do indeed put me in the category of “queer artists\,” that’s fine with me. It’s just not a label I would personally claim because it doesn’t resonate with me\, and so claiming it would make me feel like an impostor trying to capitalize on someone else’s movement. But I will HAPPILY EXHIBIT with anyone (that’s doing anything positive) that’ll have me). \n  \nThe Fabulous Arts Foundation Center (will soon but) does not (at this moment) have regular business hours. Please contact or email them before showing up if you’re not comfortable just showing up and taking your chances on whether or not they’ll be open. \n\nNote: Though this show’s been extended by a few weeks (through the 31st)\, I may have to pull my art a day early\, so DON’T WAIL ‘TIL THE LAST MINUTE \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:Savannah Punk Flea Market
DESCRIPTION:The SouthEast Punk Flea Market is an event that focuses on underground art\, alternative fashion and anything that surrounds the culture while giving like minded individuals a place to showcase their creations and hopefully make a little extra money selling their goods. If you are a fan of weirdo art\, vinyl records\, vintage clothes or possibly a collector of strange and unusual things\, this event is for you!  \nSouthEast PFM is for the folks that are looking for a little something different than what you may find on “Main Street”. \n\nThere’ll be a door charge to get in (I’m pretty sure it’s $10) but that’ll cover your admission for both days. Hours are 11am to 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday. \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
