Bridges Across the Seas!
Presented by the Sister Cities Association of Sarasota in partnership with The Patterson Foundation, this free family festival celebrates global learning and highlights the connection between Sarasota and its Sister City, Dunfermline, Scotland. Hosted at Selby Public Library - Downtown Sarasota, it features activities for children of all ages that encourage cultural exploration, hands-on creativity, and learning. Part of Remake Learning Days and Suncoast Remake Days.
Selby Public Library - Downtown SarasotaAfter School Art Play
An after-school art class invites children to explore, experiment, and express themselves through playful, hands-on creativity. Led by Virginia, the focus stays on the creative process rather than a finished piece, so it is normal for projects to go home incomplete. Designed for ages 5 and up, it is beginner friendly and all supplies are provided. Registration reserves materials, staffing, and studio space and is non-refundable. Groups of at least 10 students can schedule birthdays, private classes, or group events in the studio or at an off-site location. The Makery is located within The Bazaar on Apricot and Lime, home to more than 40 local artisans and Hamlet’s Eatery with a shaded courtyard and bar just steps from the studio.
Strength & Conditioning - Jefferson Fit
Elevate your training in a full-body strength and conditioning session led by Paul Paynter. You will rotate through resistance work and fast-paced circuits, with athletic elements such as throws and plyometric movements to develop explosive ability. Coaching emphasizes safe, efficient technique and maintains an energizing pace, with clear options to scale intensity up or down for any experience level. Expect targeted work that builds strength, endurance, core stability, and power while enhancing overall performance.

It suits a casual drink, a catch-up with friends, or a backdrop made for photos. This experience is available for a limited time.
