MORE INFORMATION:
The Sarasota Fine Art Show opens at 10 a.m. and closes 5 p.m. both days.
Organized by Hot Works, this show features top-notch artists selling their original and personally handmade art.
Hot Works’ fine art and craft shows are consistently voted by Sunshine Artist and Art Fair Source Book as one of America’s top 100 art shows in America.
Patty Narozny is Hot Works’ founder and CEO. She entered the art world in 2002 with a unique set of media qualifications that enabled her to organize, market, produce, and curate the submissions for her award-winning fine art and craft shows. Armed with a B.S. in Corporate Finance from Detroit’s Wayne State University (1986), she started as comptroller for Detroit’s alternative art-heavy newsweekly, which led her to a management position at Detroit’s NBC affiliate, a pivotal point in Narozny’s career.
In 2006 Narozny’s flagship Orchard Fine Art Show was voted one of America’s Top 100 Art Fairs by Sunshine Artists Magazine. Today, Hot Works Fine Art & Craft Shows in Boca Raton, Estero/Fort Myers, and Orchard Lake/West Bloomfield have been recognized nationally in the Top 100 Art Fairs in America list.
Over the years, Narozny has built a loyal following of nationally recognized artists and art patrons due to her high standards and commitment to allow only authentic original fine art and fine handcrafts to be included in her shows. While it’s an ongoing struggle, Narozny is ever vigilant for forged and fake “art” and trusts her artist exhibitors to assist in the effort to keep every piece of art shown at Hot Works Fine Art Shows authentic.
