Ringling International Arts Festival

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and New York’s Baryshnikov Arts Center invite you to be a part of history as more than 100 artists from the United States, Australia, Canada, England, Israel, Scotland, and Spain come together in the theaters, galleries, and gardens of the Florida State University cultural campus in Sarasota, Florida to launch the first Ringling International Arts Festival.

From October 7 – 11, 2009, the rich diversity of ideas and forms at play in the world today will be celebrated with performances in dance, music, and theater – plus art exhibitions, museum tours, and special events – all on a beautiful, 66-acre waterfront estate on Sarasota Bay.

This is your opportunity to be a part of it all. Take some time to consider everything the Ringling International Arts Festival has to offer, then create your own Festival Experience by selecting four, six, or eight stage performances and enjoy them with four days of Museum admission. You’ll receive priority ticketing and great savings, and with over 300,000 square feet of museum exhibitions to explore and dozens of performances to attend, we know you will want to come early, come often and take advantage of the fine dining throughout each day, and post-performance conversations over refreshments each night.
