Located in "The Circus Capital of the World," The Circus Arts Conservatory is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to advancing the extraordinary legacy of the circus here in Sarasota and beyond. As the parent of the longest-running youth circus in America (The Sailor Circus) and the internationally recognized Circus Sarasota, our initiatives educate a new generation of circus performers, engage elementary through high school students with innovative STEM learning programs, and improve the quality of life for individuals in elder care communities.
