Florida Craftsmen Gallery opens Necklust and the Chocolatier this evening, and despite its title, the handcrafted avant-garde necklaces exhibited by more than 100 local, national and international artists aren't made from chocolate but are inspired by it. Local writers wax poetic on the subject with accompanying literary pieces, and a selection of chefs and local chocolatiers present some original chocolate sculptures and edible delights. Opening reception 6-8 p.m., on display through May 10, 501 Central Ave., St. Petersburg.
