Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Performing arts center in Sarasota, United States.
The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall features a purple exterior design and contains 1,736 seats arranged in an acoustically engineered concert space.
The venue opened its doors in 1970 as part of Sarasota's development plan to establish a cultural district along the waterfront of Sarasota Bay.
The hall presents Broadway shows, orchestra concerts, dance performances, and comedy acts throughout the year, drawing both national and international performers.
Free parking spaces surround the building, while the box office opens two hours before each performance for ticket collection and purchases.
The architectural design takes inspiration from seashells found on Sarasota beaches, incorporating curved lines and distinctive geometric patterns into its structure.
