The SHINE mural festival draws to a close, the SPF 15 begins.

____________________________________________________________________






There's still time to see the fabulous SPILLING show at the gallery, featuring 7 new, large canvases by Judy Palaferro. Inspired by the light, colors and surrounds of Florida, Judy's large acrylic on canvas paintings exude magnificent, energetic riots of color. Visitors can also see a preview of Cheers for Beer, featuring handmade beer mugs & steins by uber-talented, local ceramists (we're preparing for the soft opening of Hofbrauhaus around the corner from us!). Saturday will also mark the finale of the SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival and the beginning of SPF15, the new St. Petersburg Festival. Downtown will be abuzz with activity -- join us!

Crossing the Bridge," a collaboration of works by the artists of Pyramid, Inc., in Tampa and Creative Clay, in St. Petersburg, will celebrate similar visions and missions of two non-profits on each side of the bay. The idea was born out of a desire to share our networks of supporters and introduce patrons to the talents and art of students from both of these organizations.

"Crossing the Bridge" will have openings on both sides of the bay:

* Pyramid, Inc., Friday, Aug. 7, 7-10 p.m. during First Friday Seminole Heights; 1508 W. Sligh Ave. Tampa, FL 33604

* Creative Clay, Saturday, September 12, 5-9 p.m. during Second Saturday Artwalk

“Crossing the Bridge” features six artists from each organization who have created 12 different paintings. Six art pieces were started at Pyramid and six were started at Creative Clay and were exchanged literally “across the bridge” and completed by artists from the other program. The result of the project is 12 collaborative pieces of art. Original artwork and prints will be available for purchase. All sales of art support the students as well as the programs at both centers.

For more information about these organizations, please visit www.pyramidinc.org and www.creativeclay.org.
