The Sarasota Public Art Committee has chosen its three preferred artists for a sculpture inside the roundabout at U.S. 41 and Fruitville Road. Installation of an approved piece is still two years away.
After the Sarasota City Commission rejected Dwell for public art in a high-profile roundabout, the PAC will revisit its top 10 candidates for the project.
Who is paying for Sarasota’s public art?
SARASOTA Real estate developers often agree to finance neighborhood improvements, like a sidewalk or a park or a bus stop, to help secure approval for their projects. In Sarasota, they also bolster the city’s public art.
In the coming years, one of those developers will finance what will likely be the most widely seen public art piece in all of Sarasota.
Earlier this year, city commissioners agreed to begin searching for artists to design the piece that will go inside the roundabout on Gulfstream Avenue and U.S. 41 after construction is completed.
