10 Year Mural Party ANNIVERSARY
The SHINE Mural Festival will celebrate its 10th Anniversary from October 11-20, 2024. Located in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, the annual event is free and open to the public and presented by Reflection St. Pete. The opening reception will take place on Friday, October 11th from 5-8 pm at 719 Central Avenue.
Located in the heart of downtown, Reflection is St. Pete’s newest luxury condominium tower and overlooks Mirror Lake with 88 “homes in the sky.” Located at 777 3rd Avenue North Street, a unique mural will be created on the building by an internationally acclaimed artist. The mural will not only highlight the unique architectural detail of angled walls along the west side of the building but salutes the overall arts culture that makes St. Petersburg so special.
Visitors are invited to watch the Shine Mural Festival live as 15 new murals come to life from a curated group of local, national, and international muralists. Create your own self-guided route, participate in one of the daily trolley tours offered through Star Trolley or experience the art up close with a walking or biking tour with Florida CraftArt.
Launch into SHINE week with a special group art exhibition at the Morean Arts Center, featuring over 100 SHINE artists dating back to 2015. A festival retrospective of sorts, see the impressive collection of work from the artists that have transformed the streets of St. Petersburg into a globally recognized destination for mural art.
As the final brush strokes dry on walls across the city, experience an epic street art party at FloridaRAMA (formerly Fairgrounds/Factory St. Pete) featuring a solo show and book release by 2023 artist Chris Dyer, custom installations from 2021 artists Ricky Watts and Nicole Salgar, DJ and special performance by Woes Martin and puppeteers of The Mighty Giants, Giano Currie’s interactive photography experience After Hours Photoshoot and more. A limited number of VIP tickets will be available for purchase. Closing event is Saturday, October 19 from 7-10PM, 2606 Fairfield Ave South.
