Experiences from Past Participants

“The Culture Collective is one of the best ways to experience the arts scene of Sarasota! Not only do you get unique access to backstage tours, special events, and opportunities to meet the artists, you also get to share these fun experiences with other young people and make new friends.” — Lauren Henry

"As a former collective, I'd highly recommend joining The Culture Collective because it was such a fun way to experience Sarasota’s amazing arts scene without breaking the bank. The discounted tickets were great, but the real highlight was the pre- or post-show events—whether it's cocktails, appetizers, or getting to meet performers and go behind the scenes. It's a cool way to connect with other young locals who were either new to the area or just returning back such as myself. " — Kaveecia Moore

"The Cultural Collective was an absolute highlight for my husband and me! It wasn't just about watching performances - it was about learning and connecting with the amazing directors and actors from our local community. Each group made us feel special and welcomed into the world of art and performing art in Sarasota. I can't recommend the Cultural Collective highly enough!" — Jessica Patella
