New Fall Mural Arrives at UTC

Step right up and be part of the art with our newest mural.

Artist Sara Salem has transformed our art wall into the picture-perfect Florida fall backdrop, complete with lush palm leaves, tropical flowers and a stunning pelican. Designed to feel like a portal into Florida, the mural invites you to step into the scene and be at the center of the artwork.

The mural will be on display through early November. Stop by the art space near Naked Farmer while you’re shopping, dining or exploring UTC, and be sure to snap a pic and tag us on Instagram or Facebook with @utcsarasota.
