Arts Afoot

If you live in the Sarasota, Florida, area or are planning a springtime visit here, make plans to check out the free Season of Sculpture exhibit along Sarasota Bay in downtown Sarasota before it ends on May 30.

 
Eighteen large-scale pieces by eight artists from around the world line the bayfront, offering lots of opportunities for interactive family fun.
 
 
Kids can get up close and personal with the pieces, pose for pictures, and try their hand at deciphering just what that squiggly line or tower made of wood is supposed to represent.

 
We spent an afternoon exploring the artworks (with Lindsay’s first-grade classroom teddy bear in tow). She had a great time examining the sculptures and didn’t hesitate to make herself a part of the displays.
