St. Petersburg sets the creative stage this weekend with three separate and distinct art shows. The artastic fun kicks off at C. Emerson Fine arts with Escapes, an exhibit of surreal and extraordinary landscape prints and abstract photographs by father-son artists Patrick and Mathew Lindhardt. The 12th Annual Holiday Members' Show at St. Petersburg Clay Company features a great range of works by more than 80 ceramic artists. And Bluelucy creative duo Chad Mize and Phillip Clark host an open house party and exhibit new works during SpaceWalk this Sunday. An array of designer graphic tees are offered for $10 or less in addition to "prizes and surprises" all afternoon, and Creative Loafing's newly re-covered newspaper boxes — which have been creatively embellished by several local artists — will be unveiled before being moved to various key locations around the Bay area.
