The Artist Enclave of Historic Kenwood is proud to announce its 2023 Artist Studio Tour – “Art in the ‘Wood"; Sat. & Sun. - March 18th & 19th - 10 am to 5 pm
This tour is free, self-guided and open to the public.
Come to “The ‘Wood” and enjoy two days exploring the Art & Culture filled neighborhood of Historic Kenwood. View the exhibits of 30 artists at 21 different stops. Experience works ranging from emerging artists to internationally recognized professionals. Radio St. Pete will be broadcasting music from stops along the tour!
This self-guided tour includes work by ceramicists, sculptors, jewelers, photographers, mixed multi-media artists, fine art painters and performance artists. This year’s theme, “Art in the ‘Wood”, allows collectors and visitors to soak up the uniquely artistic landscape, visit with artists in their studios, and enjoy live demos throughout the two-day tour. Learn about the creative process and what steps an artist takes to bring their ideas from concept to completion. Kenwood Gables Boutique B&B, 2801 7th Ave. will again host an exhibition of artwork of the Enclave during the tour with map pick-up and information available. Treat yourself to a new piece for your collection or pick up gifts for friends and family!

In 2014, the St. Petersburg City Council unanimously approved an Artist Enclave Overlay District in the Historic Kenwood Neighborhood. Artists can create artwork, teach students and sell their creations from their own homes. These special accommodations encourage a thriving arts community. Join us “In The ‘Wood”! Historic Kenwood neighborhood where Art Lives!
