ABOUT
Sarasota Art and Dance Night is an event for celebrating the present, supporting talents, charities, and businesses.
Enjoying live performances, art exhibition, dinner, silent auction, browsing local business vendors, learning new dances, social dancing as the icing on the cake.
giving back to the community
At Sarasota Art and Dance Night, we believe in celebrating art while creating meaningful impact.
This year, we are proud to partner with Marie Selby Botanical Gardens as our 2025 Charity Beneficiary. Proceeds from our elegant Silent Auction will benefit Selby Gardens to support their vital work in plant research and conservation, education, and the preservation of Sarasota’s regional history and natural beauty.
When you participate in the Silent Auction, you’re not just bidding, you’re giving back to a cause that keeps our community blooming.
Art that inspires. Dance that connects. Giving that grows.
Art Exhibit Partner
We are proud to partner with Art Center Sarasota, a cornerstone of the local art community, to curate the visual art experience at Sarasota Art and Dance Night. Through this collaboration, we bring a captivating exhibit of diverse works by regional artists, adding depth, beauty, and powerful expression to the evening’s celebration of movement, music, and meaning.
Together, we showcase the soul of Sarasota’s creative spirit.
