Come see the marvels of art 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.
St. Petersburg's Second Saturday ArtWalk presents over 40 galleries and studios in the Waterfront Arts, Central Arts District, The EDGE District of St. Petersburg, Grand Central District Association and the Warehouse Arts District coming together as one arts destination.
Many of our ArtWalk galleries celebrate the opening of brand new exhibitions during ArtWalk. It’s an exciting time to see new work by local and national artists, enjoy refreshments and often live music. Meet up with old friends and talk to new people who support the arts like you do. Make an evening of it and stop for dinner, drinks or dessert at a downtown restaurant.
Painting, drawing, pottery, glass, sculpture, multimedia and more are constantly evolving right here in St. Pete. Take advantage of the creativity our city has to offer.
ArtWalk has become so successful that it’s now an official St. Pete economic strategy that supports small businesses. Shop local!
