I’m a pretty lucky guy. I live in a place that people save up for months to come to visit, and I can take advantage of all the cool stuff to do around town. Sure, there are the beaches, and the vibrant night life in St. Petersburg. There is even the world-renowned Dali museum which features some wild impressionistic artwork.
One of the greatest places, however, is the Florida Craftsmen Gallery. Part gallery, part shop, it is a statewide non-profit organization that seeks to empower the fine crafts of Florida, enrich the community and engage the next generation of up and coming craftsmen and women. The current exhibit on display is called Fine Tuned, which is an exhibition of instruments made by local craft workers.
If you find yourself in Florida – or planning a get away from the snow and slush coming this winter – the Craftsmen Gallery should be a must-see!
Ahh I miss Florida! I spent each and every summer down there at my Grandparent’s house on a lake in Orlando, then packed up and move down there to go to UCF. Now I’m back home out west thinking about FL everyday!
