Presented by Jay Handelman, this talk provides an overview of how dozens of arts organizations in the Sarasota area, from The Ringling Museum and Asolo Rep to Sarasota Opera and Sarasota Ballet, have direct (or slightly indirect) links to the decision by the Ringling Brothers to move the winter quarters for its circus operations to Sarasota.
