ARTWALK in Ybor City
Galleries and Studios open their doors for extended hours on the First Saturday of every month.
Meet local artists and start your holiday shopping early by touring Historic Ybor City’s diverse art scene Saturday, November 1st, 2008, 12:00 – 6:00 p.m., at the first Saturday Ybor ARTWALK.
Seventeen participating venues offer exciting new gallery displays and opportunities to visit working artist studios along 7th Av. In addition to the free gallery and studio offerings, round out your cultural afternoon with a visit to the Frank V. Giunta Museum at the Italian Club and the Ybor State Museum, or stay late for a wonderful dining experience at one of Ybor City’s many fine restaurants.
New this month at the First Saturday ARTWALK: The Ybor Art Colony, an eclectic group of emerging artists celebrates diversity this month with two new artists who recently joined the Colony. The ROMEO Gallery will open a new show titled “Godfather ONE” by nationally recognized artist David O’Keefe, and The Hoffman-Porges Gallery is featuring abstract expressionist works of Tampa artist, John Fitzgerald.
Free parking is available on Ybor’s streets until 9 p.m. and for a small hourly fee in any of the city garages. The ARTWalk Guide can be picked up at any participating gallery or other Historic District venues and shops.
We look forward to your support of the artists who exhibit and sell their work.
