Hi, it’s Jenn Flanders, your Sarasota Realtor! This past weekend, December 7th and 8th, the Holiday of the Arts festival transformed Main Street in downtown Lakewood Ranch into a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. The event featured an incredible variety of handmade works from artisans across the country, including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, ceramics, woodworking, and more.

One of my favorite pieces was the stunning sculpture by Ruben Fine Art, displayed right in the heart of the festival. It was such an inspiring centerpiece and a true testament to the talent and passion of the artists featured at the event.

The festival was a wonderful way to connect with the local community and find unique treasures, whether for holiday gifts or simply to add a touch of beauty to your home. If you missed it, don’t worry—there are always more amazing events happening around Sarasota.
