Emerging Artist Showcase

WSLR+Fogartyville are pleased to present an Emerging Artists Showcase on Friday, February 1st. Opening night of The Emerging Artist Showcase will feature emerging performing artists as well as visual artists. Come out and support the alternative arts landscape in Sarasota.

Doors will open at 7pm and the program will begin at 8pm. Admission is $5 for adults and ½ price for students.

Visual artists that will be part of the exhibit include Rebecca Quigley, Dganit Greier, AJ Wolff, Erik Neikrug, Sherry Svekis, Debby Hall, Chris McCormack, Cordelia Oehmig, and Jackie Bennett. The visual art will remain on display through March 31. Fogartyville will be open weekly for viewing from 4pm-6:30pm every Tuesday.

Opening the show on Friday will be musicians and spoken word artists from Greatness Beyond Measure. Greatness Beyond Measure was designed to help teens and young adults realize their maximum potential: academically, socially and artistically. They recently performed for an enthusiastic crowd at the MLK Community Breakfast. Also sharing their talents on opening night will be Sharon Fitzpatrick, Joshua Nwankwo, Len Seligman, Kathryn Pompey, and Snousha Glaude.
