In 2014, the St. Petersburg City Council unanimously approved an Artist Enclave Overlay District in the Historic Kenwood Neighborhood. The special distinction allows a limited amount of commercial activity to take place. Artists can create artwork, teach students and sell their creations from their own homes. These special accommodations encourage a thriving arts community. Only two of these special artists’ overlays exist in St. Petersburg. Come and experience the Historic Kenwood neighborhood where Art Lives! Historic Kenwood is nationally recognized for its charming early 1900s historic bungalows. A detailed map, along with our Sponsor information, will be provided for those who want to walk, bike, or ride through the studio tour. They can also be found and printed in advance by clicking the link above or by going to: https://www.historickenwood.org/artist-tour/ |
