Harmony Gallery Artist Reception – Booker High School students

Sarasota Orchestra closes its Harmony Gallery season by handing the walls to teenagers. Visual art students from Booker High School's Visual and Performing Arts program, a pre-professional magnet that also trains dancers, musicians, actors and filmmakers, show two-dimensional work across several genres in the atrium of the Beatrice Friedman Symphony Center. This reception puts them in front of the public as exhibiting artists. The partnership began in the 2022-23 season, when the orchestra first brought Booker into its gallery program, and it has returned in later seasons. It is one of two collaborations on this year's gallery schedule; the other, with the Sarasota African American Cultural Coalition, opened the series.
