All about art: In the Village and out
Local artists invited to ‘Open Wall Night’

Any artist can be a player in the local art scene - at least for one night, thanks to “Open Wall Night,” an inaugural event organized by the emerging St Pete Creative Network.

Local artists are invited to hang one or two pieces of their art on the walls of the St. Pete Shuffle clubhouse, 559 Mirror Lake Drive N., St. Petersburg, which will be turned into an art gallery for the one-night gala. Open Wall Night will give local artists a feel for what it’s like to show their work in a popular gallery without the anguish of the submission and selection process.

Artists of all levels and ages, as well as art enthusiasts, are invited to take part in this diverse art “slam.” Art can be any size and any medium, including sculpture and performance art.

How it works: From 5-8 p.m. Oct. 25 and from 4-6:30 p.m. Oct. 26 (the day of the show) local artists may bring one or two pieces of artwork (no minimum or maximum size) to the St. Pete Shuffle clubhouse. At the end of the event artists will take their work home with them.

Entry for this inaugural event is free. There will be a cash bar and live music. For more information, visit www.stpetecreative.com.
