After more than three decades as a cultural cornerstone in Burns Court, Burns Gallery has moved to a 2,500-square-foot industrial space on Central where fine art and curated design converge.
The new location’s 20-foot ceilings and movable walls accommodate large-scale art, sculpture and immersive installations. It will also enable the gallery to feature a rotating roster of local, regional and nationally acclaimed artists, while continuing to serve as a private art advisory for collectors, designers and developers. The gallery also expects to host artist talks, book signings and designer-led events, fostering a dynamic hub for Sarasota’s creative community.
The gallery is planning a grand opening for Oct. 26.

The Gallery’s new location is 1348 Central Avenue in Sarasota.
“Burns Gallery on Central is a destination reflecting the future of art and design — one that invites dialogue, sparks inspiration and honors the beauty of intentional living,” said owner and creative director Nikki Sedacca.
The new location also marks the expanded debut of Curated Interiors, Sedacca’s bespoke design studio blending artistry and function. Known for refined, art-forward interiors and collectible objects, Curated Interiors offers full-service lifestyle design rooted in over 40 years of creative entrepreneurship.
Upcoming projects include the launch of a custom furniture line and a hand-painted linen collection, both inspired by Sedacca’s deep background in jewelry and textile design.
“We’re collaborating with artisans across mediums to craft pieces that are both meaningful and functional,” Sedacca said. “This new space gives us the freedom to create, to curate and to connect in ways we’ve never been able to before.”
With her interdisciplinary background spanning jewelry, sculpture, furniture and fine art, Sedacca brings a singular visual perspective to the space. Burns Gallery on Central will offer a curated experience that invites visitors to explore the art of living beautifully through design, creativity and connection.
Ample parking and an outdoor sculpture garden will further enhance the visitor experience.
“Whether you’re an art lover, design enthusiast or simply curious about what’s next in Sarasota’s creative scene, Burns Gallery on Central is a destination to be inspired,” Sedacca added.

Sedacca grew up attending fashion shows with her fashion model and designer mother and fell into the jewelry design naturally. She worked in the fashion industry until she designed her first paradox necklace that she sold to a girlfriend 30 years ago; Sedacca eventually made a career selling one piece of jewelry at a time.
