About VIPA
The Venice Institute for Performing Arts (VIPA) has a mission to sustain the local arts community through innovative educational programs and inspire the local community with first-class entertainment. As the management company for the Venice Performing Arts Center, we work with all groups that use the space to produce, co-produce, manage, and coordinate over 200 events each season. VIPA has a $1.85 million dollar a year impact on the local economy, and this number grows each year as more and more people come to enjoy this beautiful facility. We are able to bring performing arts education to more than 2,000 Sarasota County youth each season through our educational programs.
It has come to our attention that we have had confirmed ticket scalping events. We want to keep our patrons safe. Please only purchase tickets through this website. We can not guarantee your ticket if purchased from another website.
