The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota, Florida was designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation - The theater was built in 1968 and 1969. The 1,736 seat hall 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 two seashells as an inspiration for the design. The purple and lavender color scheme was suggested by Frank Lloyd Wright's widow, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright.
