Kite was born in Auburn, Neb., and earned a bachelor of fine arts in painting and sculpture from Northwest Missouri State University and a bachelor's in art education. Kite is the painting, printmaking and modern- and contemporary-art history instructor at IMG Academy in Bradenton and resides in Sarasota.

Kite is having a solo show opening Oct. 5 at the Palmetto Art Center.

Ringling International Arts Festival: Mark Morris Dance Group

WHEN: 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10; 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11; 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12; and 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13

Where: Mertz Theatre, 5555 N. Tamiami Trail Cost: $10 to $50 Info: 360-7399

New York City’s Mark Morris Dance Group was founded in 1980 and quickly became a well-known company. These days, the group is touring the world and, fortunately, will bring its clever, rhythmic and funny choreography to Sarasota as the headlining group at Ringling International Arts Festival. One thing the group is known for is performing with live musicians and working with renowned talent such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma and percussionist Zakir Hussain. The group is bringing its house band, The Mark Morris Dance Group Ensemble, which offers an eclectic repertoire.

Sarasota Opera’s ‘Rigoletto’

 The Sarasota Chalk Festival takes place Oct. 28 through Nov. 6.

2. Fifth Annual Chalk Festival WHEN: Sunrise to sundown Oct. 28 to Nov. 6 Cost: Free

Where: 200 to 500 South Pineapple Avenue Info: chalkfestival.com

The theme of this year’s highly anticipated chalk festival is “Circus City, USA,” and the possibilities are endless for the event that attracted 200,000 visitors in 2011. In last year’s chalk festival, more than 250 artists participated in creating street (and even vertical) art. Last year’s 3D Lego Army by Leon Keer was a big hit, and this year, Kurt Wenner — the innovator of 3-D chalk art — is on the bill. He will create a 3D circus composition using a technique that has never been attempted. This event is all it’s chalked up to be.

 From the 2008 production

of “Rigoletto”

WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26.

Runs to Nov. 12.

Where: Sarasota Opera House Cost: $80 to $100 Info: sarasotaopera.org The Sarasota Opera’s 54th season begins with Italian Giuseppe Verdi’s “Rigoletto,” which is a dramatic three-act show. This is the same production that opened the newly renovated Sarasota Opera House in 2008. The story line is complex: a jester, Rigoletto, pokes fun at a father awaiting the return of his dishonored daughter, so the father curses him.

Rigoletto’s karma comes into play when his own daughter is dishonored, but that’s not even getting into the third act. It’s a story of vengeance and seduction, which promises lots of action. It’s one of the most frequently performed operas in the world with reason.

Expect intriguing choreography by Matthew Hart and circus-themed design by Peter Docherty. Artistic Director Iain Webb is excited. He says it’s the ballet’s present to Sarasota: “This truly is the Sarasota Ballet’s own production, and it’s our way of saying thank you to the many supporters who have stood by us,” he says. The ballet will be accompanied by the Sarasota Orchestra.

This impressive exhibit containing more than 700 photographs of images spanning the 20th and 21st centuries was donated by seasonal Sarasotans Warren J. and Margot Coville. These are famous images captured in mostly a journalistic editorial-style photography. The topics range from bullfighters and 9/11 to Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. It features photography from bigwigs, such as Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Andre Kertesz and Herb Kratovil. This exhibit is a mirror of social change over the past century.

16th annual Safe Sex Halloween Bash ‘Deadtime Stories’

WHEN: 9 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 27 Where: Michael’s On East

Judging by last year’s outrageous photos and details for this year’s spooktacular event, you do not want to miss the twisted fairytale fun of Planned Parenthood’s annual Halloween bash. Hoping to make it the most memorable Halloween party of the year, Co-Chairwomen Kate Atkin, Christina Fraser, Kim Mancini and Veronica Pastore have planned everything from a haunted forest and exotic entertainment to a photo booth. Even the bathrooms — where just as many photos are taken as the photo booth — will be decked out in zany, sexy and spooky décor.

Previously, the bathrooms have included giant inflatable ducks and bananas, a crime scene and a sex shop. This year’s candy bar will feature some sweet surprises. Past presentations have featured candy in a coffin, mannequin legs and creepy clown faces. Proceeds benefit the sexual-health and preventioneducation programs of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida.

WHEN: 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 2 Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota Winemaker dinners take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at various locations.

Wine, Women & Shoes always strives to kick things up an inch — or two!

This time around, the luncheon features an additional 30 minutes of shopping, with doors opening at 10 a.m., a “flipbooks” booth, in which you and your friends can make a 20-second video and receive a souvenir book that brings your images to life, plus an after party with foot massages.

As for the winemaker dinners, Sarasota native Trevor Kunk, chef at Blue Hill, in New York City, returns home for a special dinner presentation at the first WW&S dinner, with a fabulous slate of dinners following at various homes.

and Allison Silver Schwartz at CANDance in October 2011 Oh yeah, it’s happening. On the lineup for this fabulous dance-off are Anne Weintraub, George Quarterman, Lauren McComb, Jamie Ebling, Kristen Paulus, Phil King and Bambi Famous Kaine. Black Tie checked in on Kaine and Weintraub to see how their moves were coming along, and here are a few of their responses …

Weintraub: “My experience so far has been hysterical.”

Kaine: “I feel like I have three feet. McCurdy’s could use some of our material for their next stand up — aka 'dance' act!”

Weintraub: “I had to change my dance from the tango because I couldn’t be dragged around like a mannequin — I must be in control. We’re going Latin, now.”

Kaine: “We’ll probably do the swing so I can fake it!”

the Warren J. and Margot Coville Photography Collection

Working at a time when photographs were made with silver on paper, pioneering photographers turned a new medium into an art form. They chronicled the historic moments and recorded the unforgettable sights of their times, freezing on film images that evoked shared emotions and forever imprinted themselves on our collective psyches. Now, the Ringling is pleased to present work from these masters who captured the decisive moments through which we see the ever-changing landscape of the 20th Century.
