PALM AVENUE ARTS ALLIANCE - Sarasota, Florida

In the roaring 20's, Palm Avenue was Sarasota's most prestigious address. The opening of the luxurious Mira Mar Hotel & Apartments, which hosted the rich and famous in elegant style, marked the beginning of the evolution of Palm Avenue. The area began to boom with ballrooms, restaurants, upscale shops, arts and theatres.

Through the years, Palm Avenue and the surrounding downtown area have become the hub of Sarasota. Today Palm Avenue is a delightful blend of historic Sarasota, fabulous shopping and exciting cultural events. Stroll Palm Avenue by day or night and discover that the tradition lives on.

We, the members of the Palm Avenue Arts Alliance, cordially invite you to visit Palm Avenue and enjoy the riches we have to offer. Palm Avenue also participates in Sarasota's Annual Arts Day Celebration.
