Fostering creativity and community in South County Sarasota
After decades of serving as a creative hub for South Sarasota County, the Englewood Art Center (EAC) has officially closed its doors. We are profoundly grateful to the many artists, instructors, students, volunteers, and visitors who filled our studios, galleries, and classrooms with inspiration, learning, and connection.
Ringling College is actively working with local nonprofit organizations to identify an appropriate organization to assume ownership of the building. Any interested nonprofit is encouraged to reach out by June 30, 2025 to eac@ringling.edu to arrange a tour of the facilities.
As a division of Ringling College of Art and Design, the EAC was part of a broader mission to support the arts. Now, that mission continues through Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design. To learn more about current arts programming, please visit www.sarasotaartmuseum.org
