Arts & Culture

Visible Men Academy (VMA) is proud to present its 5th Annual Visible Art Grows Hearts Art Showcase, taking place Saturday–Sunday, February 21–22, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. This two-day celebration of art, culture, and community will feature nationally recognized contemporary artist Jerry Lynn, while raising support for VMA’s mission to educate and empower young men. The free public exhibit will transform the venue into a vibrant pop-up gallery filled with original fine art and mixed-media works that celebrate identity, storytelling, and excellence. A portion of all proceeds from artwork sales will benefit Visible Men Academy, a tuition-free K–5 public charter school for boys serving Manatee and Sarasota counties.
