Currently on exhibit at the Florida Craft Art gallery is “Splash,’ a water-themed show features many ArtLofts artists who invite us into a world of all-things water including mermaids, fish, swimmers. You can even have your picture taken with a MER-MAN. The artists of Artlofts on the floors just above the Florida Craft Art gallery, are located at 501 Central Avenue in downtown St. Pete. And I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you, dear art enthusiasts, to mark your calendars for St. Pete’s next Artwalk, Saturday July 13. #floridacraftartfestival #Florida #craftart #tampabay #radio #debcarson #radiostpete
