Where are you located?
Fogartyville is co-located at 525 Kumquat Court with WSLR Community Radio. The entrance to Fogartyville is on the West side of the building, one block east of Lemon Avenue and just south of Blvd of the Arts.
What are your hours?
Fogartyville is an event-driven venue. We are open only when we have events scheduled. Please check the Fogartyville page for a listing of all upcoming events.
Where can I park?
We only have a few parking spaces available at the entrance to Fogartyville. If you are handicapped and need us to reserve you a space close to the entrance, please call the office — 941-894-6469 — in advance of the event you will be attending so that we can make the proper accommodations for you.
Once the parking directly behind Fogartyville is taken, refer to the map below to find other available parking spots.
Can I rent your venue for a private event?
Fogartyville is available for rent on a limited basis. Call Ariel at 941-894-6469 for details or email: ariel@wslr.org
Can I bring my own refreshments?
Outside food and drinks are not allowed, unless specifically noted. Fogartyville will have beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages for sale during events.
Is there food available?
We often host a rotating list of food trucks. Doors open one hour before the show starts and the food truck begins serving when doors open. Food is typically available until the start of the second set. Snacks are available at the Fogartyville Bar.
Is seating general admission?
Indoor seats are reserved for most ticketed events. If inside is fully reserved we open up our patio (which has retractable shades) for general admission seating, weather-permitting.
What is a listening room?
Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center is a listening room and while the performers love the audience to applaud, laugh and occasionally sing along, conversation during the show distracts other listeners and is disrespectful to the songwriters who form the backbone of our music community.
We encourage talking before the show, between sets and after the show but ask that during the performances, audience members refrain from conversation.

Can I bring my camera to the show?
Our camera policy varies depending on the artist. Unless you’ve received prior artist and venue approval, absolutely no professional cameras, detachable lenses or flash.
Are you a nonsmoking venue?
Yes, and this includes vaping. There are however safe, well-lit areas outside the building for smokers.
For shows when the patio seating is being utilized, smoking is not allowed on the patio.
