Bistro Pop-Up Night — May

Once a month the Bistro at Sarasota Art Museum stays open after hours for a Bistro Pop-Up Night, an optional gallery tour followed by a four-course dinner. Executive Chef Ben Hiatt themes this edition to Skyway 2027: A Contemporary Collaboration, the multi-museum showcase of Tampa Bay–area artists then on view. The menu draws on Florida's regional fruit stands and farmers markets, with local produce, lean proteins and artisanal specialty items. The tour comes first, so diners see the work the courses respond to before they sit down. A wine pairing is available, and seating is limited and by reservation.
