August Artist and Poet Event | Join us Sunday, August 16th at 3 PM as we celebrate our August Artist of the Month, Tina Prizament!

In addition to Tina's artwork, we're excited to feature two talented local writers and poets:

Lesa Silvermore – A Sarasota-born musician, writer, and photographer whose poetry was inspired by a transformative journey across America. Her work reflects themes of self-discovery, reflection, and the experiences she encountered while traveling through the American West.

Melissa Andrés – Author of the poetry collection Together and Apart, with work published in numerous literary journals, including Rattle Magazine, Magma Poetry, and The Chicago Quarterly Review. Raised in both Miami and Sarasota, Melissa's writing explores connection, place, and the human experience.

Spend the afternoon surrounded by local art, poetry, delicious food, handcrafted cocktails, and great company as we celebrate the incredible creative talent within our community.
