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 URL:https://samnorth.art/event/art-from-the-heart/ LOCATION:The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art\, 5401 Bayshore Rd\, Sarasota\, FL\, 34243\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250429 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTSTAMP:20260418T001533 CREATED:20250402T231501Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251110T162808Z UID:4629-1745884800-1762732799@samnorth.art 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 URL:https://samnorth.art/event/parkersbooks/ LOCATION:Parker’s\, 1488 Main St.\, Sarasota\, FL\, 34236\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250509 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250731 DTSTAMP:20260418T001533 CREATED:20250430T210505Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250723T143921Z UID:4828-1746748800-1753919999@samnorth.art 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 URL:https://samnorth.art/event/rooted-and-radical-the-art-of-queer-and-trans-resilience/ LOCATION:Fabulous Arts Foudation Center\, 1201 N Lime Ave\, Sarasota\, FL\, 34237\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Fabulous Arts Foundation":MAILTO:info@harveymilkfestival.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250704T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250704T220000 DTSTAMP:20260418T001533 CREATED:20250610T202726Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250610T202726Z UID:4974-1751655600-1751666400@samnorth.art SUMMARY:Bayfront Fireworks Spectacular DESCRIPTION:There’s no art walk or market happening as part of the city’s official fireworks show\, I’m just gonna try to capitalize on the crowds and see if I can get away with it. 😝 \nSometime in June\, I’ll do some RECONNAISSANCE\, come up with more of a plan\, and post more specific details. \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 URL:https://samnorth.art/event/bayfront-fireworks-spectacular/ LOCATION:Bayfront Park\, 5 Bayfront Dr.\, Sarasota\, FL\, 34236\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250711T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250711T230000 DTSTAMP:20260418T001533 CREATED:20250625T225209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250710T135243Z UID:5036-1752260400-1752274800@samnorth.art SUMMARY:Jacksonville Pop-Up DESCRIPTION:Jacksonville was where I first launched my art career. This’ll be my first time returning since 2017. Really\, I’m just passing through town on my way to Savannah but I figured I could at least pop up a small something for one night. And then hopefully I’ll book something more substantial/real a little further down the road. \nSince my USUAL (ten years ago) spots no longer exist\, the GOOD PEOPLE at Dart Bar have agreed to host me this time around. I’ll be there from 7-11pm. Maybe a little later but I do have to be in Savannah by 9am\, so – we’ll see how it goes. \nI’m also headed right back south after the weekend so will be passing through town again on Sunday night and am potentially open to doing something in the few days that follow. (I do have to be on my way by the morning of Saturday July 19 though). Hit me up if you have any ideas! \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 URL:https://samnorth.art/event/jacksonville-tbd/ LOCATION:Dart Bar\, 1261 King St.\, Jacksonville\, FL\, 32204\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250712T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250713T190000 DTSTAMP:20260418T001533 CREATED:20250625T223424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250625T223424Z UID:5031-1752318000-1752433200@samnorth.art 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.
