BODY SHOPPING: Mandala Med-Spa
Mandala Med-Spa is hosting another of their intimate workshops on the benefits of facial rejuvenation. Space, as always, is limited, so now is the time to call and reserve your spot. Mandala’s Dr. Barnett and a representative from Radiesse will be in the Spa for a live demonstration of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This presentation promises to show how to take years off your face in less than an hour using Radiesse, a wrinkle correcting derma filler. In addition to the mini-education, there will also be a raffle for one Radiesse syringe, valued at $600. Refreshments and spa tours will be provided. And, attendees will also receive 25% off any Radiesse or other service booked that evening.

ART: Phantasmagoria: Specters of Absence, May 24-August 10, 10am-5:30pm
Mist, breath and fog are often associated with mystery, evoking a dreamlike state and inviting the viewer to suspend fixed reality for some otherworldly space. Artists including William Kentridge, Christian Boltanski, Regina Silveira and Jim Campbell are part of an international roster making for an impressive, groundbreaking presentation. The artists’ use of shadows and actual fog and mist evokes the alluring enigma and magic of the “phantasmagoria,” theatrical shadow and light spectacles of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, 5401 Bay Shore Rd., Sarasota, 941-359-5700.
