PHOTO GALLERY: s/ART/q Print Party

There were 12 prints to choose from at this year's two-day print party hosted by s/ART/q on Saturday, Oct. 22 at WSLR 96.5 LPFM. Typewriters, a cute dog, ribbons, produce, cool-looking fish - it's no wonder there were so many people getting hip images transferred to their long johns, jeans, aprons and plenty of t-shirts. Live music, food and crafts for children entertained the thousands of attendees while they waited for their screen-printed works of art. Each print was $5 and helped the group of local artists raise funds for SELECT Fair in December in Miami.

BACKSTAGE PASS: Sarasota community presents the city's cultural transformation

Before the 1950s, the landscape of Sarasota was different. Mirroring many other parts of the country, there were separate beaches, separate hospitals and separate schools to segregate races.

The house was designed on a 5-foot grid, which helps the building and landscape come together. Zoysia grass was used in the front yard because it is more draught tolerant and likes edge conditions.
