St. Pete's first Booker Creek Arts Festival fills the EDGE District with art Nov. 12-15
The 5AM St. Petersburg team
If you want art without a ticket, the inaugural Booker Creek Arts Festival runs Thursday through Sunday. It's free, and it turns the EDGE District, 16th St. to MLK Jr. St. along Central Avenue, into a walkable gallery.
WUSF reports the festival team has installed, or is installing, 127 original pieces in nearly 40 EDGE businesses, including hotels, breweries, salons and, yes, the St. Petersburg Police Department. Artists compete for up to $50,000 in jury-awarded prizes, and visitors vote for the People's Choice Awards.
