Let’s Catch Up!

April calls for slowing down at Arts & Central. Join us on April 12th at 5PM for our Artist Event featuring Karen Chandler—an evening to experience her work, connect, and stay awhile.

The rest of the month? Good food, great company, and every reason to linger just a little longer!

April Artist of the Month

Join us Sunday, April 12th at 5 PM as we welcome featured artist Karen Chandler. Meet the artist, explore her work thoughtfully woven throughout our menus and space, and enjoy a dining experience where art is part of every moment!

Learn more about Karen Chandler below:

Barbara spent 30 years in the furniture and design industry before transitioning to painting in 2009, bringing her lifelong eye for color, texture, and form into her work. Inspired by photographs from her travels throughout Italy and Europe, her pieces highlight architectural details, landscapes, and gardens through layered textures, palette knife techniques, and vibrant color.

A member of Artists of Palmer Ranch since 2010, her work has been exhibited across Sarasota and is currently featured in the Art Center of Sarasota Members Show.
