CALLING ALL ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS! Please join us for the FREE LAUNCH EVENT for Artspace SRQ’s ARTISTS SURVEY provided through the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County! Wine, refreshments and light bites served. Fun activites included! Please RSVP here: https://form.jotform.com/72746584344162.
Affordable housing, studio and performance spaces for artists in Sarasota will help to ensure the rich and diverse artistic community. ArtSpace is an exciting partner to make affordable housing a reality for Sarasota.
An ArtSpace community in Sarasota will provide much needed affordable housing studio and performance spaces to our creative residents. In 2014, Sarasota was identified as a viable art space location. Thanks to the help of our community $45,000 was raised towards funding a local art space project – now we are set to launch Phase II – the survey!

Three areas:
Trick or Treat Trail (Opens at 7:30pm) – A fun Halloween trail around Lake Ospreyeaturing many local businesses from the Osprey-Nokomis Chamber of Commerce decorating their booth and passing out candy for children or the more cautious Halloween enthusiasts. (Fun, kid friendly, not scary)
The Haunted Trail (Opens at 8:00pm) – A spooky, dark trail winding through the park filled with things that go bump and crunch through the night. Enter if you dare – there is no turning back. (Medium scary)
The Haunted Pavilion (Opens at 8:00pm) – If you make it to the end of the Haunted Trail, more horror awaits in the form of a Haunted House done by the Nokomis Volunteer Fire Department. (Pretty scary. Not recommended for the faint of heart)
Additionally there will be hot dogs and drinks offered by local scout troop 77! As well as burgers and drinks offered by the Venice Sunrise Rotary Club!
Special thanks to our local Publix who will be providing s’mores, a pumpkin patch photo booth, and some sponsored snackage!
Crafts, fortune telling and more in the works!
