Sarasota Fine Art Show is scheduled for October 31 and November 1, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Hot Works’ event-specific venue listing names JD Hamel Park, 199 Bayfront Drive, in downtown Sarasota. The show brings together original artwork across several media, with the organizer’s current artist table listing painting, photography, jewelry, clay, glass, fiber, sculpture, wood and mixed media.

What to expect

A varied show can be a good place to compare techniques in person. Look at how light changes the surface of a painting, ask a photographer about printing and edition sizes, or discuss the materials and finish of a piece of jewelry. Hot Works publishes a participating-artist list and show map on its event page; check those resources before setting out if there is an artist or medium you especially want to see.

Plan your visit

Confirm the venue before traveling. The date-specific section names JD Hamel Park, but older descriptive text on the same organizer page still refers to Sarasota Art Museum. Use the current event header and contact Hot Works if you need clarification. Check admission, parking, accessibility and weather arrangements directly. Bring measurements if you are shopping for a particular space, and ask artists about packing, shipping and care before making a purchase.
