Membership Benefits

    SAACC’s vision is to assist in the vitality of the historic Newtown community, among the oldest neighborhoods in our beloved City of Sarasota. The community has rich history and culture, and is on its way to becoming as economically vibrant as it was when nearly 100 businesses lined what is now Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way. We believe an African American Art Center and History Museum will be the catalyst that pumps new energy along the business corridor.
