The latest ARTpool social is a Purple Polaroid ART pARTy. Area folks are encouraged to don purple duds and enjoy photo shoots with discontinued Polaroid film, psychedelic shoegazing jams by the Vera Violets and a display of more than 1,000 original Polaroids — an autobiographic collection by Tim Mettler, photos of vacant and lonely places in Florida by Jeff Walenta, long exposure shots by Chris Clark and portraits by Marina Williams. Sat., Aug. 23, 8 p.m.-midnight, 919 First Ave. N., St. Petersburg, $10 (includes drinks and hors d'oeuvres), artpoolrules.com.
