When it officially opens in St. Pete’s Warehouse Arts District this spring, Fairgrounds will feature the work of a diverse group of about 65 artists who worked together to deliver a fantastical version of Florida, with Sunshine State-themed dioramas, a magical forest, mystical coral reefs, mermaids, gator crossings, Florida strawberries, Everglades adventures and beach motels.
Head to the Mermaid Star Motel to see Zulu Painter’s “Mermaid Motel” mural. Peer through the Penthouse windows to catch a glimpse of Nick Davis’ and Indie Reece’s digital illustrations. Admire Iona Paris’ seashell creations in the Mermaid Dressing Room. And be on the lookout for iBOMS’ graffiti-inspired Floridarama diorama and Kayla Moon’s space-themed paintings.
