DeForrest Trained Dogs (Circa 1903) 🐩 🐾 The circus promoted highly trained domestic animals. Performances by the clever canine actors with colorful props fascinated circus patrons. Most of the dogs were strays or found at local pounds. Explore "Canvas City: The Materials of the Tented Circus," on view through Jan 3, 2027. 📸: Artist: Frederick Whitman Glasier (American, 1866 – 1950) #TheRingling #CanvasCity #Circus #CircusHistory #Sarasota

✨ Join us tonight at 8 PM for Joseph’s Coat: A Skyspace by James Turrell (2011). At sunset, a sophisticated system of LED lights is employed to change the color of the space. In doing so, the artist changes the context in which we view the sky through the 24 foot aperture in the ceiling, affecting our perception of the natural environment and the surroundings.
