Leadership: Ingrid Petri, manager Membership: By invitation and jury selection only. Membership has been as high as 34, but space demands in the gallery led the organization to let membership decline a bit through attrition. Presently, 28 artists are members. Betty Altmann and Richard Capes are longtime members, although not among the founders. Online: E-mail: artuptown @verizon.net. Web site: History: Art Uptown was founded as a co-op art gallery in 1980 by a group of 11 artists working in a wide range of media. The space originally had been a shoe store; when Art Uptown took over, the artists used the downstairs space as a sales gallery and the upstairs space as a studio. What's new: A series of single- artist exhibitions to showcase members' works. Up this month are ceramics by Karen Case. Nature photographer Michael Sandiford will have a two-week exhibition beginning Dec. 28. Why you should go: If you meet Petri on the street and ask why you should stop by the gallery, she will tell you that "it's a wonderful opportunity" to be there with the artists. "We have such a bunch of very talented, interesting artists. It really makes my life very worthwhile." Petri is not an artist herself, but is a collector, "and this is a terrible place to be," she joked. "I love art and I love to be surrounded by art." Biggest challenge: "It's to get the public in, to see the galleries, to participate more," said Petri. Arts Day in January helps, because it attracts thousands of people to downtown Sarasota. Most surprising aspect: The longevity of the gallery is first on Petri's list, followed by "the interaction between the artists, the comradeship, how they work together, how they work to keep the gallery going."
