Now You See Us: The Petticoat Painters Exhibition

Step into Sarasota’s rich cultural history with Now You See Us, a vibrant exhibition celebrating The Petticoat Painters, one of the oldest continuously exhibiting women’s art groups in the U.S. Since 1953, this collective has provided a platform for women artists, and today, their legacy continues.

Opening March 17 at City Hall, this exhibition is part of the City’s Cultural Heritage Exhibit series, offering a museum-quality experience in a civic setting.

Join us for a free opening reception on March 21 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the City Hall lobby, with a short program beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers.

About The Petticoat Painters:
Founded in 1953, The Petticoat Painters emerged at a time when women struggled to find opportunities to exhibit their work. Today, the group remains dedicated to its mission: Honoring our history, we support professional women artists, offering a community of growth and shared experience culminating in group exhibitions.
