On Friday Jan 28th the Circus Arts Conservatory in Sarasota will be having a gala under Ulla Searing Big Top at Nathan Benderson’s Park’s Regatta Island near the finish tower. This is your opportunity to keep the circus arts alive while enjoying a Circus Gala with safety in mind.

The gala support provides major funds for circus arts conservation, with emphasis on collaboration & teamwork, creativity & imagination, and critical thinking & problem solving. The CAC has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with amazing people in this community helps keep the circus alive. Your attendance at the 2022 Circus Arts Gala will help keep the doors open, produce engaging new shows, and change the lives of students and seniors with their outreach program.

The outreach programs that will be helped are quite a few. Booker Middle School students in the CAC magnet program is always important. The Highlands County School District took advantage of the CAC Education Outreach in 2021. Finally, the Sarasota Sailors were able to present “A Night At The Movies” in 2021.

The Gala will include a festive cocktail hour, elegant dining by Michael’s On East, and world class circus performances. To get tickets and reserve your spot in this opportunity to support the CAC, just go to circusarts.org. Have fun at the circus.
