After over 11 years with a storefront on Central Avenue, St. Pete ArtWorks will relocate to GCAA’s new headquarters at 5546 1st Avenue N., St. Petersburg. The lease at their present location, 2604 Central Ave., expires on February 28. Executive director and founder Judy Vienneau states, “It is sad to see our time on Central Avenue come to and end, but the move will allow more flexibility and a variety of activities, including more interaction with the community.” She thanks the loyal art lovers and customers who have made St. Pete ArtWorks such a special place, and hopes they will continue their support at the new location.
St. Pete ArtWorks is an artist cooperative gallery which has operated under the umbrella of the non-profit Gulf Coast Artists’ Alliance. With new branding, “GCAA ArtWorks” at its new location will offer classes, outdoor markets, open-studio, and cultural film viewing, as well as exhibitions, space rentals, studios and a gift shop. All these activities align with GCAA’s mission, which is to provide the local art community with an opportunity to network, share resources, conduct workshops and classes, and hold exhibitions.
Jillian Holladay is February’s featured artist at St. Pete ArtWorks, 2604 Central Ave. Her show will end February 23, and the move will take place February 24-27. During that last week of February, a “Moving Sale” will be held, offering unneeded fixtures, display items, and select artwork for sale.
