I was able to make it out to the Gasparilla Arts Festival on Sunday. This year’s show had some very solid artist along with a great location.

I am glad to see Curtis Hixon Park getting used so much in such a short time.

I talked to a hand-full of the artist throughout the day. Here is a quick interview with Terry Pipitone, this year’s winner of best “emerging artist.”

This painting by James Michaels won best of show. The painting is homage to art history, including Rembrandt whom Michaels said he studied while learning to paint.
