Performing Arts Center Renderings Unveiled

Concept 2.0 Design Rendering: Street-Level

We’re pleased to share the latest renderings for Concept 2.0 of the Sarasota Performing Arts Center project. The updated concept presents a refined, financially sound, and unified design shaped by community and City Commission feedback while preserving the project’s original vision. Concept 2.0 will be presented to the City Commission for input on March 2, 2026.

“Concept 2.0 is the result of listening carefully to our community, City partners, and stakeholders, and turning that input into action,” said Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, CEO of the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation. “While this is not a final design, it represents meaningful progress, an alignment around what matters most, and a shared commitment to creating a Performing Arts Center that serves Sarasota for generations.”

Community engagement will continue to be central to the process. Additional opportunities for public information-sharing will be offered through the ongoing Center Stage Conversations series, with the next event scheduled for Thursday, March 12, at 3:30 p.m. at Lefty’s Oyster & Seafood Bar. These informal gatherings are designed to spark meaningful dialogue about the Performing Arts Center project.

The Foundation’s team is also available to speak with local groups and associations; presentation requests may be submitted via email to Press@PerformingArtsFoundation.org.
