ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Pinellas County Schools’ students that attend Creative Clay’s Transition Program will host the First Friday Art Market, Oct. 1, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The outdoor market is run by the student artists and held in Creative Clay’s courtyard.
“We are so excited to bring back our monthly Friday Art Markets run by this year’s new Transition Program art students,” said Amanda Drewes, Pinellas County Schools ESE Teacher, Extended Transition. “They have been working hard since mid-August to not only create beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces to sell, but also in learning how to use the Square point of sale system to assist customers in making their purchases.”
More than half of the students are new to the program and are eager to get their artwork out in the community. Paintings, ceramics, greeting cards, $5 Mystery Bags, and potted succulents will be for sale. Green sticker items are available at 50% off. There will also be tables with items from Creative Thrift, Creative Clay’s pay-what-you-wish store for repurposed art supplies, frames, books and more.
Live music by Emily Turnage and offerings by British Food Stop will highlight the event.
This is an outdoor event, but masks are required inside the market.
Creative Clay’s vision is to make the arts accessible to all. Its mission is to help people with disabilities achieve full and inclusive lives through access to the arts by providing expressive, educational, and vocational experiences.
Creative Clay’s core program is its Community Arts Program, which serves 50-60 adult artists with neuro-differences each week. Through the implementation of additional offerings, such as the inclusive Art Around the World summer camp, Summer Studio for older teens and young adults, Artlink employment program, Creative Care Arts in Wellness outreach program, and its Pinellas County Schools’ partnership Transition program, individuals of all ages and abilities are mentored, taught and empowered to become working artists who actively create, market and sell their work.
