In conjunction with Sarasota’s Centennial Celebration, Marlane Wurzbach's bold and colorful acrylic cityscapes and landscapes will be shown at Art Uptown Gallery this October in an exhibit entitled “Building Sarasota’s Stories." Ms. Wurzbach’s appreciation of Sarasota’s history grows as she works to preserve some of Sarasota’s architectural treasures on canvas. She’s drawn to the people who lived and worked in Sarasota and focused on this town’s best interests: Owen Burns, Bertha Palmer, Marie Selby, Charles and Charlotte Abbe, Harry Higel, Katherine and Daisetta McClellan to name just a few. The exhibit runs from Saturday, September 25 through Friday, October 29. The public is invited to the First Friday reception on October 1 from 6-9 PM.

On Sunday, Oct. 3 from 1-3 PM Dr. Frank Cassell will conduct a public dialogue at the Art Uptown Gallery. Dr. Cassell is the author of Suncoast Empire - Bertha Honoré Palmer, Her Family, and the Rise of Sarasota and Creating Sarasota County. Dr. Cassell is also the Chairman of Sarasota County’s Centennial Steering Committee. Art Uptown Gallery welcomes patrons and friends to its 1367 Main Street gallery, where the diverse art works of 29 local artists are exhibited.
