Nicole Hays paints bodies and it’s pretty nifty stuff — she paints models into settings around St. Petersburg. If you’ve missed seeing this before, you can see it all in one place with her book release party. That’s right, she’s put ’em all into a book, the Art of Body Experience coffee table book. After a one-hour reception celebrating the book (and the work that went into it), enjoy a circus. For real. Not exactly an under-the-big-top experience, Lumiere: Escape from Darkness will showcase aerialists, juggling and original music, all telling the story of a young woman who wants to break free from her city to go in search of the brightest star in the universe.
Art of Body Experience and Lumiere: Escape from Darkness | Kozuba & Sons Distillery, 1960 Fifth Ave. S., St. Petersburg | Aug. 18: 7:30 p.m. | $20 & up | More info at Local or at curiositoriumstpete.com
