One week ago today, Sarasota showed up and showed OUT. 🤍👑

CAC CEO & President Jennifer Mitchell and Suncoast View's Joey Panek welcomed Sarasota's best-dressed crowd to the Circus Arts Conservatory Arena for an unforgettable afternoon of circus inspired fashion, entertainment, and a once in a lifetime peek into Dolly Jacobs' glamorous closet.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, committee members, models, performers, and every guest who made the room sparkle. Special thanks to collaborative partners Foxy Lady, Feld Entertainment, and the legendary Dolly Jacobs for making the first ever Cirque Vogue a spectacular success. 🥂

And the celebration continued at The CAC's Charity Golf Outing at the Venice Golf and Country Club, a perfect day of circus and golf in support of life-changing youth programs. 🎪⛳

Thank you, Sarasota.

🎪✨ The spotlight was all theirs!

On Friday, May 1, students from the Circus Arts Conservatory's C.A.S.T. Program at Sarasota High School took to the stage and absolutely delivered. 👏

In an incredible hour-long showcase, these talented student artists performed acrobatic dance, German wheel, wire, manipulation, aerial silks, lyra, and web. From students in their first year to those who have trained for four years, every single performer let their skills shine in a show that was nothing short of spectacular.

💙 Congratulations to all of our Sarasota High School Magnet students and an extra special shoutout to the Class of 2026! We are so proud of everything you have accomplished and so excited to see what comes next!
