The much-anticipated celebration of local professional artists returns to St. Petersburg this weekend: the Cool Art show. 

This annual juried show includes 75 artists and artisans. Expect to see work in wood, clay, metal, fiber, glass and paint. The show will also include jewelry and mixed media work. Artists include those who have exhibited worldwide and won accolades for their work — and many of them will be on hand for the weekend. Sponsored by the Professional Association of Visual Artists.
