Sarasota is a city south of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast that was once the winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus. Today, it hosts a number of cultural institutes, notably the Ringling Museum of Art, which showcases old masters and modern art. It’s also the gateway to miles of beaches with fine sand and shallow waters, such as Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach.
Sarasota is a popular city on the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida and the county seat of Sarasota County. It is known for its vibrant arts community, excellent restaurants, unique shopping, and beautiful beaches. Sarasota, although a mid-sized city, is considered to be the cultural center of West Central Florida. The city has a metropolitan flavor unique to cities of its size and to cities in Florida.
The Asolo Theater, Florida West Coast Symphony, Sarasota Opera, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, and frequent art shows add the the cultural theme of the city, rivaling the facilities of Florida's largest cities. Sarasota is also home to the Ringling Museum of Art, the Selby Botanical Gardens, New College (Florida's public honors college), a USF branch, and the Ringling School of Art and Design.
Sarasota's downtown comprises a true urban cityscape with offices and several upscale downtown condominiums. It is complemented by Saint Armands Circle, on Saint Armands Key, which is surrounded by Lido Key, across Sarasota Bay from downtown via the Ringling Causeway (with sweeping views of Sarasota Bay.) Saint Armands Circle is an upscale outdoor shopping area, with several cafes, reminiscent of Europe. The idea for Saint Armands was from John Ringling who also intended to build a Ritz hotel on Longboat Key. Today, Sarasota has a Ritz hotel downtown as well as the Longboat Key Club on Ringling's original site. The Longboat Key Club includes two golf courses, tennis, and all other resort facilities and is located just north of Saint Armands on Longboat Key.
The beaches are a major draw to the area. Siesta Key Beach is consistently ranked among the most beautiful beaches on Earth. (Siesta Key was also the site chosen for the marriage of Chrissy and Brian, of Home Today fame.) Crescent Beach, Turtle Beach, Lido Beach, and the beach running the 15 mile span of Longboat Key are equally beautiful and accessible. Indeed, much of Sarasota's charm comes from the fact that the beaches are so plentiful and accessible.

4. SOUNDBITE (Taiwanese) Hung Yin/Artist - on how his artwork is happy:
In this current, modern life everyone is so busy but why do I want to do this? I want to show my work and make people smile in this busy life, even just one second is worth it so this the best area to show my work because it's in the heart of Manhattan. There's a lot of traffic. 50,000 people are in this area a day. I'm really happy to have my installation here.

It's just positive karma, in the middle of midtown Manhattan, in the middle of the hustle and bustle and the commuters, how nice to be able to pause and have a smile come to your face and sort of feel happy? 'That's nice, look at that.'

STORYLINE:
WHIMSICAL, JOYOUS ANIMAL SCULPTURES ON DISPLAY IN NEW YORK
New York's Garment District is getting infused with whimsy, thanks to large-scale animal sculptures that are on display through April.
The installation, by Taiwanese artist Hung Yin, is called A Fancy Animal Carnival.
There are 11 colorful sculptures placed between 36th street and 41st street in the Broadway Pedestrian Plaza.
Barbara Blair, the head of the Garment District Alliance, says they try to feature art on the plaza year-round and they chose Yin's work because it's just positive karma, in the middle of midtown Manhattan, in the middle of the hustle and bustle and the commuters, how nice to be able to pause and have a smile come to your face and sort of feel happy? 'That's nice, look at that.'
It's like a dream come true, said Yin of the opportunity to have his art on display in New York. This is a dream come true. It's a very important exhibition in my life. I'm very happy and very excited to see all the pieces installed and when you look at New York there's so much energy in this city and so many different cultures combined in this city. It's really wonderful.
Each sculpture represents a narrative through Taiwanese symbols that are believed to inspire luck. They also represent Yin's optimistic outlook.
I want to show my work and make people smile in this busy life, even just one second is worth it so this the best area to show my work because it's in the heart of Manhattan, he said.
