Why Sarasota?

The winter season has begun and there are so many choices for events. The best beach in the U.S. is a good reason to attend the  Siesta Key Crystal Classic Sand Sculpting.  With balmy breezes and 70s temperatures, it’s an ideal time for the artists to come from around the world to create their artistic creations with sand.  It’s interesting to watch their work take shape as they use everyday tools and a large pile of white sand.  A straw to blow stray sand from the crevices, a paint brush and a trowel to create detail, spritzes of water to help work the sand to the shape the artist needs…all this magic produces enjoyable art such as those above.

This is definitely a must-see event.  While you are there, check out the vendors under the tents and, by all means, bring your beach chair and towel and spend some time soaking up the sun and the sand.
