Ringling's Center for the Creative Economy Partners with the League of Women Voters

Arts & Culture

Only about one in three Sarasota County voters cast a ballot in the last two primary elections. The League of Women Voters of Sarasota County (LWVSRQ) decided to do something about it. They contacted Ringling College of Art and Design. In a first-time collaboration, LWVSRQ partnered with Ringling College’s INDEX Center, a program that places students in real-world design roles for nonprofit and community clients, to create a social media get-out-the-vote (GOTV) campaign for the August 18, 2026, Sarasota County primary election. The result is a strategic visual campaign designed from the ground up by Ringling students, shaped by original research, and built to reach the voters most campaigns never reach.
