After a three-year hiatus, the artist collective known as SARTQ (a riff on Sarasota's airport code) is back with the show "Here and Now." Running until August 29, the show is a diverse and high caliber example of the multiple styles, perspectives and aesthetics that inhabit Sarasota's healthy visual arts community. Over 500 art lovers descended on the State of the Arts Gallery to view the group's works including sculpture, ceramics, painting, photograpy and multimedia projects.
