Artwork by Booker High School VPA Program Students at Quay Sarasota

SARASOTA, Fla. - Feb. 6, 2019 - PRLog -- Students from the Booker High School Visual & Performing Arts (VPA) program recently contributed works of art which are on display at Quay Sarasota, a new mixed-use waterfront neighborhood destination with residential, retail, hotel and office opportunities under construction along downtown Sarasota's waterfront.

GreenPointe Communities, the developer of Quay Sarasota, is collaborating with students from Booker High School's VPA program, offering students the opportunity to exhibit and showcase their talents in the heart of Sarasota's Arts and Cultural District.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with students and faculty from Booker High School's VPA program at the Quay Sarasota Waterfront District," said GreenPointe Communities Development Manager Brett Blank. "This is a wonderful partnership and we appreciate the opportunity to recognize the outstanding work and contributions by students from the local area."

The artwork was installed on fencing surrounding the development site and encompasses 19 large size panels depicting a variety of contemporary images. While the VPA program has earned national rankings for its excellence in arts education, many students of the program have limited options when it comes to pursuing arts at the college level.

"I am so impressed with the talent and dedication I see from the VPA students at the Quay Sarasota site," said Martha Flynn, President of Pathfinders Consulting Group, LLC, providing career readiness programs and events to Booker High School. "Experiences like this create interest, excitement and opportunity for the VPA program students."

Quay Sarasota is an entirely new vision – a 14-acre waterfront district that will offer a blend of luxury residential, upscale retail, boutique hotel, and state-of-the-art office space in a scenic waterfront setting of natural beauty, eclectic architecture and active public spaces.
