Englewood Art Center at The Hermitage Artist Retreat

The Hermitage Artist Retreat has taken ownership of the Englewood Art Center, a 10,000-square-foot facility previously managed by Ringling College of Art and Design. This transition allows the Hermitage to expand its mission as a multidisciplinary arts center, continuing to offer programming in visual arts, music, theater, literature, and dance. Artistic Director Andy Sandberg emphasized the importance of engaging with the community to shape the future of the center, while former Englewood Art Center President Leslie Dignam celebrated this partnership as a valuable opportunity for local cultural enrichment. The acquisition marks a significant development for the Hermitage's renowned artist-in-residence program and aims to enhance the artistic landscape of Englewood and beyond.
