TIS the Season at St. Pete's Second Saturday ArtWalk

Now’s the time to enjoy a balmy evening and explore St. Petersburg’s five exciting arts districts. Open the door of a gallery you’ve never visited before, or try our free trolleys and a whole new neighborhood.

Download your map and start planning your evening!

Be the first to see new affordable works of art, as ArtWalk is Opening Night where many galleries and studios premiere new works. 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.

We are very grateful to these sponsors for their continued support of our creative businesses:

• Duke Energy
• St. Pete Wine & Food Festival
• Courtyard St. Petersburg Downtown

Our free trolley shuttles will have an art guide on board talking about each venue on our one continuous trolley loop that goes from the 3rd Street and Central Avenue to deep in the heart of the Warehouse Arts District. 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. Woodson African American Museum.

The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, the Arts Association St. Petersburg Inc., the EDGE District, the Grand Central District, and the Warehouse Arts District associations coordinate St. Petersburg’s Second Saturday ArtWalk. The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance strives to be the community voice, the umbrella organization for the arts -- facilitating artists, arts organizations and creative businesses to work collaboratively; empowering the growth of the arts community, and driving arts-related economic development.

Trolley Stop #7 – 2240 9th Ave. South
Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum - 2240 9th Avenue South - Meet the Artist: Roy McClendon - One of the original 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.
