In this episode of Sarasota’s Behind the Masterpiece, host Jeffery Kin sits down with Mary Moscatelli, CEO of the Venice Art Center, to explore what it really takes to build a thriving community arts hub. Mary shares how her background in mental health shaped her leadership style, why community energy matters as much as the art itself, and how the Venice Art Center has grown into a cultural destination with hundreds of classes, exhibitions, and artists each year. From supporting local creatives to hosting beloved events like the Martini Art Party, this conversation offers an inside look at how art can connect, heal, and inspire an entire region.
