The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is a theater in Sarasota, Florida.

Contents

The 1,736 seat hall's 1968-69 construction was partly funded by a bequest from local residents Lewis and Eugenia van Wezel.

The architectural design was carried out by William Wesley Peters, of Taliesin Associated Architects, who used seashells as inspiration for the design.

The purple and lavender color scheme was suggested by Frank Lloyd Wright's widow, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright.
