Arts & Culture

Step into a visual conversation between two lifelong friends who helped shape Sarasota’s artistic history at 502 GALLERY. Hartman + Berg: Parallel Paths, celebrates the enduring friendship of William Hartman and Wilfrid Berg—two artists who painted side-by-side throughout the 1940s and 1950s in both Sarasota and Michigan.Their watercolor paintings, many of the same scenes rendered through separate eyes, reveal a rich, intimate dialogue of light, color, and perspective. This exhibition offers a rare look into a creative relationship rooted in trust, curiosity, and deep appreciation for the landscape they shared. Visit 502 Gallery to experience the show while it’s still up—and discover a unique chapter in Sarasota’s history.
