From Friday, May 14th through Sunday, May 16th, the public is invited to join PAVA (The Professional Association of Visual Artists) artists as they leave behind their studios and demonstrate their painting, drawing, and photography techniques in the beautiful outdoor landscape of Florida’s Botanical Gardens.
Over a dozen artists will be scattered throughout the Florida Botanical Gardens during normal operating hours allowing the public to see first-hand how the artists create their artwork, ask questions about their individual techniques, and learn about what inspires them.
The artwork created at this event will be for sale at an upcoming public market in the Gardens’ plaza in June which will also feature additional gift and plant vendors. More details on the date of the public market event to come in the near future.
The Florida Botanical Gardens is located in Pinewood Cultural Park and is accessible at 12520 Ulmerton Road, Largo. Admission and parking are free.
