ABOUT SARTQ
SARTQ, Sarasota’s local popular artist collective whose name underscores their connection to the region, was founded and formed in early 2008 by local artists Tim Jaeger and Joseph Arnegger. The collective quickly expanded and gained the attention of many local enthusiasts. SARTQ aims to maintain a network of accomplished Sarasota artists, manage exhibitions and events, and collaborate with the community.
