The 15th annual Cooking for Wishes was held on February 20 at the Circus Arts Conservatory. Hosted by Make-A-Wish of Southern Florida, the annual fundraiser featured a four-course, interactive dinner where guests at each table prepared their own meals, live and silent auctions, and more.

Ellen and Richard Sandor first encountered the artwork of Israeli artist, Sigalit Landau, in Jerusalem. Their friend had taken them to an exhibit at one of the museums in the city. Landau is globally celebrated for her ability to turn everyday objects like clothing, fishing nets, and even a cello, into works of art by immersing them in the Dead Sea, where they undergo a striking crystallization process. “Immediately, it appealed to both of our sensibilities,” Richard Sandor recalls. “It was multimedia, sculpture, and deeply tied to the environment, so it hit my particular vein—really, both of ours.”

The art of fundraising and successful donor engagement can be competitive and challenging, but not for seasoned non-profit professional Michelle Butler, Senior Director of Philanthropy at The Sarasota Ballet.

She has spent the better part of her 20-year professional career in development roles for some very important local nonprofits, but as she will tell you, she feels very lucky to work at The Sarasota Ballet, an organization she truly believes in, and which makes a difference not only in our community, but throughout the world of ballet.

From February through April, The Ringling will bring the world to Sarasota through its Art of Performance series. The infectious rhythms of Africa, the Middle East, Cuba and beyond — including echoes of American jazz and tap dance, the blues, and Spanish and Latin influences — will resound through the Historic Asolo Theater (affectionately known by its acronym as “the HAT”), an intimate showcase on the grounds of the museum complex.
