Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series
On view February 8 – May 31, 2026
Downtown Sarasota campus
The next installment of Selby Gardens’ annual Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series will be Alexander Calder: The Nature of Movement. The exhibition will combine original artworks by Calder in the galleries of the Museum of Botany & the Arts with horticultural vignettes, inspired by the artist and his work, in the Display Conservatory and throughout the gardens of the 15-acre Downtown Sarasota campus. The exhibition will explore Calder’s interests in science and nature, as well as his fascination with the circus, stemming from his studies of performers at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1925. The circus is a popular subject in Sarasota, which became the home of the winter quarters of Ringling Bros. in 1927.
