As well as have a strong commitment to the arts, we are also great supporters.  Mr. Sweetman was one of the first presidents of the Manatee County Council for the Arts back in 1981.  His images have helped Arts Organizations sell their visual and performance based products to their targeted audience. He has photographed for the Sarasota Ballet and Sarasota Opera Companies.

Gary's strongest arts background is in theater photography...in fact he holds a degree in that field!  He was production photographer for Asolo, the State Theater from 1973-1989 and for 5 years created the special pre-production Season Images. In the summer of 2006 he photographed the entire Banyan Theater Company's season. He has been creating the imagery from the many theater events at the Crosley Mansion for the past 4 years.
