The Van Wezel Foundation is launching a regional, community-wide survey to obtain feedback for the planning of a new Sarasota Performing Arts Center located at the center of The Bay Park near downtown Sarasota. The Sarasota Performing Arts Center is at the heart of the city of Sarasota's master plan to develop the Sarasota Bayfront into a cultural and economic legacy for the region. "For more than 30 years, the Van Wezel Foundation has partnered with the city of Sarasota to enhance the quality of life for our community," noted Cheryl Mendelson, CEO of the Van Wezel Foundation. "With input from regional communities, we have a tremendous opportunity to make the Sarasota Performing Arts Center a place for ideas, a place for the arts, a place for you. The new performing arts center will serve as an iconic civic asset that meets the needs of everyone living in and visiting the entire Gulf Coast region."
