SARTQ Collective: Legacy x Response: SARTQ Responds to a Century of ACS
The SARTQ Artist Collective presents Legacy x Response: SARTQ Responds to a Century of ACS—a dynamic group exhibition that explores and honors the rich, evolving history of Art Center Sarasota. Members of SARTQ will engage in a creative dialogue with the past, crafting contemporary responses to the legacy of the Sarasota Art Association and the original artists who shaped the foundation of ACS.

### Juan Alonso-Rodríguez: Earthly Glyphs

Juan Alonso-Rodríguez’s upcoming exhibition, Earthly Glyphs, takes fictional, deep microscopic views into the core of the Earth's strata.
Juan Alonso-Rodríguez is a Cuban-born, self-taught artist with a career spanning over three decades in the Pacific Northwest, now residing in St. Petersburg, FL. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Tacoma Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, University of Washington’s Henry Art Gallery, Museum of Northwest Art, Microsoft, and General Mills, among others.

### Njeri Kinuthia: Reconstruction: Mwacha Mila NiSi Mtumwa

Reconstruction: Mwacha Mila NiSi Mtumwa explores reconstruction as a symbol of hope. Using various construction methods such as weaving and sewing, and expressive mark-making techniques such as hatching, cross-hatching, and hand embroidery, Njeri Kinuthia creates portraits inspired by bold textiles and stained glass. This body of work questions how culture shapes our identity and who we are beyond the confines of our traditions.

### Juried Show: small works

A celebration of art on an intimate scale, this exhibition highlights the impact of pieces that may be small in size but powerful in presence. From intricate details to bold statements, small works proves that great art doesn’t have to be large to leave a lasting impression.
