Arts Alliance Fall Social at Café on St. Armands

Once John Ringling’s office, by the account on its own site, the century-old building at the heart of St. Armands Circle now houses Café on St. Armands, a reworked restaurant that took over from Café L’Europe and is run by Oysters Rock Hospitality. That company also appears among the sponsors of the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County, the group behind this fall social. A summer social the Alliance held in 2025 drew nearly 100 painters, performers, producers, curators and administrators, and its CEO said afterward that the group was weighing more gatherings of the kind.
