Locations

The broadsides and postcards created for Art in Common Places are hung around Sarasota County at places where people might not otherwise see art or have a chance to read poetry.

 Where can you find our broadsides and postcards?

Our artwork and poetry can be found at such places as laundromats, nail salons, community centers, public housing facilities, libraries, gyms and healthcare facilities. Some specific locations are:

  • All libraries in Sarasota County

  • These markets: Detwilers - Palmetto, Earth Origins - South Siesta, Whole Foods Market - Downtown Sarasota and University Park

  • Johnny’s Carwash

  • These restaurants and coffee shops: Clever Cup, Mama G’s Coffee, Panera Bread, Oasis Café & Bakery, Kahwa Coffee, Sunny Bunny Yogurt and Beauty of Sprouts

  • Our Y at both locations

  • Southgate Community Center and Gillespie Park Reading Room

  • These apartment complexes: McCown Tower, Condo on the Bay, CitySide, Plymouth Harbor, Oakridge Apartments, Promenade Apartments, Park Lane Condos and Peppertree Bay.

  • These hair and nail salons: Hair Love, Michaels Urban Salon, Nails Now, Shear Beauty and Aqua Nails.

  • And so many more places…

How often are the materials updated?

Each month our team of volunteers swap out the broadside and postcards with a different project, so viewers have a variety of art to enjoy. We replace postcards as needed and encourage viewers to take a card for free.

How can you help us with new locations?

We are looking for new locations where the owner, manager or person responsible is interested in hosting our beautiful artwork and poetry. Please contact us to refer us to someone you know who has a good location or recommend a place where we might reach out to ask.
