It may not be well known that within the Downtown Sarasota area lies a magical world, a residential artist's colony known as Towles Court. For more than 15 years, Towles Court has served as a retreat for local artists. Coastal Living magazine even named Towles Court a Top Ten Artist Colony to visit.
Brightly colored cottages line the mossy oak covered streets where working studios, artist-run galleries, boutiques, and open-air restaurants welcome you. There are all types of art to be found including paintings, prints, photography, ceramics, and jewelry. Graphic designers, interior designers, art therapists, and massage therapists are also found among this eclectic community.
Typical business hours for the community are Tuesday through Saturday from 12 pm to 4 pm, but on the third Friday of every month the colony hosts "Third Friday Art Walks". The Art Walks provide the opportunity for the public to meander through the galleries, studios, boutiques, and antique shops while enjoying live music, refreshments, and entertainment well into the night.
Towles Court is located off US 301 between Adams Lane and Morrill Street in Sarasota's Historic Downtown.
