Come Out St. Pete! to Second Saturday ArtWalk

St. Petersburg’s Second Saturday ArtWalk presents over 40 galleries and studios in the Waterfront Arts, Central Arts District, The EDGE District of St. Petersburg, Grand Central District Association and the Warehouse Arts District coming together as one arts destination. Join us as ArtWalk also celebrates the inaugural Come Out St. Pete event, encouraging a sense of community.

Come Out St. Pete advocates for community awareness and acceptance of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and encourages a sense of community through a series of events and activities that promote equality for all. Come Out St. Pete runs Oct. 7-15 with a number of events including a collaboration with Movies in the Park on Oct 12. Oct 11th is National Coming Out Day. More info: https://www.comeoutstpete.org/event/come-out-artwalk/

Now’s the best time to enjoy our vibrant arts community. Open the door of a gallery you’ve never visited before, or try our free trolleys and visit all the arts districts

Be the first to see new affordable works of art, as ArtWalk is Opening Night where many galleries and studios premiere new works. Some are only open on ArtWalk, and many offer demonstrations and refreshments. It’s impossible to take in the entire ArtWalk in one night! Plan to drive, walk, or take the trolleys to visit the districts of your choice.

We are very grateful to these sponsors for their continued support of our creative businesses:
