Art & Found Day: A Huge Success for Sarasota Pen Women!

jgchiodo


We are thrilled to share that our first-ever participation in Art & Found Day was a resounding success! This global initiative, designed to make art more accessible to the community, allowed us to share our creativity with Sarasota & Manatee in a truly unique way.


On March 12, members of our branch placed beautifully wrapped artworks throughout the city, waiting to be discovered by unsuspecting passersby. The excitement and engagement from the community were overwhelming—over 15 people submitted our form letting us know where they found their art treasures! Here are some of the responses we received:
