Sarasota Public Art
Sarasota has a fine public art program. You can read about it at: https://www.sarasotafl.gov/our-city/public-art. And you can see sculptures throughout the city.
The Sarasota Public Art Audio Guide can be viewed by downloading the app below. The end user can navigate to other cities within the app also but obviously we want to feature Sarasota's public art.
The app is called Otocast. Once you are in the app, you scroll down to Sarasota.
You can download for Apple devices or Androids here:
The public art in Sarasota is something to showcase for sure!

SCAS Book Publication Release and Signing Celebration Happy Hour
The Sister Cities Association of Sarasota (SCAS) is celebrating sixty years since the founding in 1963. We have served on the board of directors of SCAS for many years and felt it was time to record the great achievements realized by the organization during the past sixty years. In this treatise we recognize significant exchanges, events and activities that have been carried out over the years and also recognize the many volunteers that have dedicated their valuable time in service to SCAS.
The book will also serve those interested in how a mid-size city manages sister city relationships around the world. Our organizational structure is described as well as the functions of all the board members, including the vice presidents and the directors for each of the sister cities. SCAS also serves the general Sarasota community with the public invited to all our luncheons, wide ranging presentations and celebratory events. The premier “One World Award”, conceived by board member, Bill Wallace, annually honors one remarkable individual and one outstanding organization in our community that has enhanced “Understanding and Respect” among citizens of the world through their extraordinary work or volunteer service.

The information provided in the book provides a template for cities contemplating the development of their own sister city program and contains useful ideas for possible new programs, events and exchanges in other sister city organizations.
You can purchase the paperback for $10 from Amazon.com. Search for Sarasota Sister Cities. All profits go to Sarasota Sister Cities.
