The Circus Arts Conservatory

WHO WE ARE

The Circus Arts Conservatory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization recognized for both performances and community outreach service in Sarasota, Manatee and beyond. Committed to raising the perception of the circus as the valuable art form it represents, The CAC is much more than a circus. We operate producing performances, events, youth training, and community outreach programs that serve children, schools, the elderly and those in care facilities.

Showcased in a one-ring, European-style Big Top, Circus Sarasota presents circus productions that expand all creative barriers and bring the best in circus arts to southwest Florida. The shows change annually and feature international circus acts acclaimed for their amazing artistry.



Mission Statement:

The Circus Arts Conservatory’s mission is to engage and educate students using unique and innovative learning programs; to measurably improve the quality of life for individuals in care facilities; and to advance the extraordinary legacy and heritage of the circus. The Circus Arts Conservatory’s extraordinary mission underscores its commitment to sharing the entertainment, education, and enrichment that Circus Arts provide. As part of its mission, The CAC spends nearly 80% of revenues to support its year-round community outreach programs and is a generous community partner with other organizations, donating in excess of 5,000 tickets to local non-profits annually.
