Some are only open on ArtWalk, and many offer demonstrations and refreshments. It’s impossible to take in the entire ArtWalk in one night! Plan to drive, walk, or take the trolleys to visit the districts of your choice.

You can park for free on 1st Ave N and 1st Ave S from 15th St to 30th Street. In addition, venues with large free parking lots are Soft Water Studios, the Morean Center for Clay at the Train Station, the Clay Center of St. Petersburg, the Florida Holocaust Museum and the Dr. Carter G.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum - 2240 9th Avenue South - The Highwaymen. In the late 1950’s along the central East coast of Florida, a small group of African American artists started selling their paintings- traveling up and down highways selling their artwork. The group was eventually made up of 26 artists, creating an estimated 200,000 paintings. Many of the paintings were purchased by tourists on vacation. The artists captured Florida’s natural beauty, beauty currently compromised by development. The backwoods scenes, breaking waves, palm-lined beaches, and river scenes are just a small portion of The Highwaymen's work. The successful group produced paintings from more than 40 years. The popularity and demand for art by The Highwaymen are ongoing & the success the artists have achieved defines The American Dream. https://www.facebook.com/WoodsonMuseum/
