St. Petersburg's Second Saturday ArtWalk with over 40 galleries and studios in the Waterfront Arts District, Central Arts District, EDGE District, Grand Central District, and the Warehouse Arts District will celebrate “Universal Music Day” as one arts destination. Many venues will offer music and/or its artistic representation for the festive October celebration of art.
Visitors will 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. These studios and galleries provide an informal, engaging social evening to drop in and meet our community's artists.
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. Additional parking will be available for trolley riders in the vacant lot at the Northeast corner of Central Avenue and 29th Street (Please note that this is NOT one of our trolley stops). 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 and the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum.
Handmade, one of a kind, unique, local art make excellent gifts! It’s impossible to take in ArtWalk in one night so please download the map for a list of participants to plan your artful evening. Browse, watch and purchase “Where Art is Made”!
Duke Energy is our sponsors. The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, the Arts Association St. Petersburg, and Warehouse Arts District and the Grand Central District associations coordinate St. Petersburg’s Second Saturday ArtWalk.

Playful, curious, quasi-bohemian creative, Evelyn Dufner is a local artist who has re-emerged from a 15 year hibernation to dance a tango of blazing colors, illustrated paper experiments, subtle found art elements, and self-expression. She describes herself as a soulful self-explorer, and brings her playful vision into the world through illustration, mixed-media paintings, photography, and writing. Her work often explodes with color, something that always strikes her (if you ask) as odd, yet she continues to let it flow, weaving in continued messages of emergence from the darker places where she found her “self “laying quiescent. She enjoys the serendipitous encouragements within her community that continue to gently nudge her to grow and share her work.

Join the Duncan McClellan Gallery for The Texture of Glass: Part II featuring Licha Ochoa Nicholson and Sam Stang.
In addition to this exhibit, guests can watch two free glassblowing demonstrations beginning at 6:30pm.
About the Artists
Raised in a traditionally large Mexican family in Kansas City, Missouri, Licha Ochoa Nicholson began working with glass in early 1980. She studied at the legendary Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, where she learned the challenging technique of glass-fusing. She continues to explore the unlimited potential and natural beauty of fused glass art.
Sam Stang attended Washington University in St. Louis and was a student of Fritz Dreisbach at Penland School of Crafts in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and of Lino Tagliapietra at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. He was a founding partner in Ibex Glass Studio and started Augusta Glass Studio in Missouri, which he still operates. He uses traditional European glassblowing techniques to create his stunning pieces.
Come by on Saturday evening and enjoy this wonderful experience while sipping a cool beverage with great people in our galleries and lit courtyards. (All donations benefit the DMG School Project).
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5pm and by appointment.

Machine in the Ghost is a group exhibition open now at the Kirk Ke Wang Art Space. Six artist statements were randomly created using online statement generators. Six artists, in turn, created artwork based on these statements.
This Saturday we speak with the artists and take a look at the story behind the work, the experience of working with these "fake" statements, and each artist's outlook on artist statements and theory in art making. Curator Danny Olda will be speaking with artists Michael Covello, Shawn Pettersen, Selina Roman and Mikaela Raquel Williams.
