Ringling International Arts Festival Blog in Sarasota, FL. Theater, Dance, Music and Visual Arts

We at the Ringling Museum and the BAC are quickly learning what it takes to put together a international festival as we work hard behind-the-scenes to make sure everything goes as planned come October. Sure, it is still five months away, but we cannot rest on our laurels there is marketing to be done, travel arrangements to be made, and physical coordination of events to be organized, to name only a few. It takes more than just calling some artists and asking them to participate. It takes uber-organization skills, the ability to walk backwards in high-heels (figuratively speaking of course, unless you are Meow Meow who probably can do it in her sleep) and the ability to keep a sense of humor. The ride has been fun so far, stay tuned for more.
