This mannequin is located at the following clue: "Update your look on the outside and rejuvenate how you feel within at this boutique-spa on South Pineapple."

Arts + Culture

If you window shop some of the downtown stores and restaurants, you might notice some new window displays. The Ringling has partnered with Downtown Sarasota Alliance to bring 25 mannequins, all wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with “#GetReadyForRIAF.”

If you take a photo of any of these mannequins, upload it to Instagram and tag it with the hashtag “#GetReadyForRIAF @TheRingling” — it is an automatic submission into a contest in which you can win a VIP prize package for two (tickets to all RIAF performances and the closing night party).

See the full list of participants, or clues, at blog.ringlingartsfestival.org. You have until Saturday, Oct. 5 to submit entries; a winner will be notified Oct. 6.
