SARASOTA, Nov. 21, 2017 – The Adult & Community Enrichment program of
Sarasota County Schools offers lifelong learners a wide range of experiences.
Its arts programs are among the most popular classes, representing 40 percent of
its offerings. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 6, ACE will celebrate
the showcase and sell creations by its art teachers and students in time for
holiday gift-giving at its fourth annual Art Sale. The event will be held at
Suncoast Technical College, 4748 Beneva Road in Sarasota, in the center lobby
of Building 3.
“This sale is an annual highlight for all the ACE
staff and students,” said Laura Trubac, program manager. “There is so much
creative energy when so many talented art students come together, offering
their wares. We all do some holiday shopping, having fun as we choose from
affordable and one-of-a kind art creations.”
The sale will include a large selection of
handmade, original, reasonably priced artwork, including ceramics, paintings,
fiber art, photography, baskets, jewelry and much more. A portion of the
proceeds will help support the ACE Art Program and the ACE Scholarship Program.
This year, ACE instructor Barbara Harrison
will offer a free demo session, “Wall Sculpture Creations.” Harrison uses non-traditional
materials, which makes her methods and media unique. The one-hour session will
be held in room 104 at 1 p.m. Art shoppers and lifelong learners interested in
ACE classes are invited to come and see the creative process of a sculpture in
progress.
