It's the last weekend to see Fairgrounds' 'Shrimpfinity' art exhibit in St. Pete

It includes a six-foot-tall shrimp cocktail sculpture (garnished with a giant lemon wedge, of course).

NOLA’s Milagros Collective was founded in 2008 by former Florida residents Felici Asteinza and Joey Fillastre.

A New Orleans-based art collective decided to take the Sunshine State’s reputation for fresh seafood to a whole new level in St. Petersburg. Fairgrounds' fully immersive, shrimp-themed installation is complete with hand-painted designs, projected animations, a six-foot-tall shrimp cocktail sculpture (garnished with a giant lemon wedge, of course) and a shrimp disco ball—all set to an original soundtrack of charming, underwater sounds.

The interactive installation is open Thursday-Monday at the local art hub in St. Pete's warehouse district, but it’s the last weekend to catch the captivating “Shrimpfinity” exhibit in person. Founded in 2008 by former Florida residents Felici Asteinza and Joey Fillastre, NOLA’s Milagros Collective is known for its “site-specific works that explore the history of place through striking arrangements of color and mark.”

"Shrimpfinity" is included with admission ($25-$34) to Fairgrounds in St. Petersburg. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
