Remembering Joan Armor Mendell

Scenic Studio was made possible through a transformative gift from Joan Armor Mendell. Joan was a lifelong lover of the arts and a passionate philanthropist. Her support gave way to a greater capacity for stage scenery fabrication and stage prop rentals — empowering Asolo Rep to reach well past Sarasota.

The Scenic Studio Facility

Scenic Studio is not open to the public — however, clients are often permitted to discuss pending orders. Our facility is located in the Robert and Beverly Koski Center, near the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport at 1009 Tallevast Road in Sarasota, Florida.
