About VIPA

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 educational to more than 2,000 Sarasota County youth each season through our educational programs.

Beautifully situated on Venice Island, Florida! Kudos to the city leaders and community for their vision to invest in this architectural and cultural gem.

This is a civic treasure! The entire town should be excited about another performing arts venue; this only enhances our growing reputation for cultural awareness and support of the arts, and having many high school students involved in apprenticeships is a welcome addition! Go!
