Paint Your Dream, St. Pete!

Saturday Aug. 29, 2015
North Straub Park, Noon to 4 pm. Admission is FREE! 

The event will include four group paint sessions where attendees will have the opportunity to work with a professional painter to paint their collective vision for the city. The paintings will be judged by city officials and the winning painting will be featured in a local establishment. Attendees will also have the opportunity to paint individual paintings of iconic St Petersburg monuments—like Tropicana Field and the Pier. 

AARP will host Life Reimagined Dream Clinics for adult attendees that offer resources and tools for bringing their personal and professional dreams into fruition. The event will be followed by a cocktail reception at the Museum of Fine Arts Marly Room, where guests will have the opportunity to engage with community leaders, neighbors and friends of St Petersburg over music and live art. 

 “Paint Your Dream, St Pete!” is a free event to the community. Tickets are on sale for the post event reception at www.eventjoy.com/e/paintstpete. 

As St. Petersburg continues to evolve into a lively city, becoming a destination for budding young professionals and remaining a home to retirees and senior citizens, “Paint Your Dream, St. Pete!” seeks to bridge the intergenerational gap through the use of art. Consistent with Mayor Kriseman’s vision that “The Sun Shines on ALL in St. Petersburg,” this event aims to build a collective consciousness of that vision among members of the St. Petersburg community. This event is part of a broader movement that promotes St. Petersburg as a vibrant, diverse, artistic city welcoming of ALL, regardless of age, race, or culture.

This free event will provide community members with the opportunity to express their dreams for St. Petersburg by using painting and art as a form of creative expression.

Proceeds raised through sponsorship will benefit Pinellas County Urban League. PCULYP will also be accepting school supply donations which will benefit students in the Urban League’s NULITES (National Urban League Incentives to Excel and Succeed) program.

Presented by the Pinellas County Urban League Young Professionals, in partnership with AARP and the Museum of Fine Arts
