Englewood Art Center

Fostering creativity and community in South County Sarasota

Englewood Art Center is a division of Ringling College of Art and Design. The Englewood Art Center (EAC) focuses on education, exhibitions, and events.

EAC serves as a nexus for artists and audiences to inspire creativity, exchange ideas, endorse imagination, and encourage creative growth. In addition to four galleries for exhibitions, the EAC houses two 2D studio classrooms, a ceramics studio, a digital media studio, and a lending library. Classes are offered for all ages onsite at EAC in South County Sarasota.

EAC depends on your support for quality programming. Please consider making a donation to sustain the EAC community’s creativity and culture.
