The next 12 months should bring a plethora of memorable, mind-expanding events to the Tampa Bay area, and St. Petersburg is home to three to help local art lovers kick their year off in style.

American Stage’s "Tales by Twilight" American Stage delivers in its backwoods rendition of “10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” happening this month when actors walk ticket holders down a one-mile trail through Boyd Hill Nature Preserve at night, giving them tips on surviving a zombie apocalypse.

“Four Decades: PCCA Faculty and Alumni Exhibition” The Pinellas County School District opened PCCA in 1984 to help high school students prepare for a career in the arts. Forty years later, the big question is, “Did it help students transition into a career in arts?” The answer is yes and more. (Morean Arts Center, St. Petersburg)

“The World is Not My Own” Filmmakers Petter Ringbom and Marquise Stillwell, aka Opendox, recently created a scale model of Nellie Mae Rowe’s home for their documentary, “This World is Not My Own.” The 97-minute film, which tells the story of Rowe’s life and art, debuted at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival in Austin.
