Sarasota is home to a vibrant and eclectic arts scene that features museums, performances, film festivals and more. Here are just a few of the Arts and Cultures offerings available: ## Fine Art Realized and Revered The [John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art](http://www.ringling.org/museum-art) is an extraordinary architectural feat that isn't to be missed.
