Starting November 12th, our Jordan Park youth began a 4-week ArtsXploration series, hosted by the Warehouse Arts District Association (WADA). This series, “Wearable Art: Design Your Own Fashion,” is led by Karen Gonzalez Artist. In this hands-on class, our young artists are discovering their unique styles while learning techniques to transform everyday clothing into bold fashion statements! Over the next few weeks, they’ll experiment with materials like acrylic fabric paint, bleach, oil pastels, and more to create wearable masterpieces.
    To wrap up the series, we’ll host a fashion show to showcase their one-of-a-kind designs.

    S2 Ep250: Historically St. Pete w/Rui Farias & Guest Roger Barganier, Creative Arts Unlimited
    Nov 20 2024
    In this episode of Historically St. Pete, host Rui Farias -Executive Director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History - interviews Roger Barganier, a partner and the artistic genius behind Creative Arts Unlimited. Located in Pinellas County, Roger and his firm are regarded as one of the best museum exhibit creation teams in the nation. Museums today are fantastic teaching and entertainment tools that rely on themes and technology to share a message with the visitors. And the creation of a museum exhibit is final product of months, or years of research, design, writing, fabrication and a little luck. Learn how they have transformed museums, libraries, hospitals and more to magical, information and engaging wonderlands.

    Historically St Pete is a weekly conversation where we explore the truths, and possibly the myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. The Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years and we are happy to share those stories with you here on Radio St. Pete.

  • S2 Ep249: What's Brewing Tampa Bay? Voodoo Brewing Co. Opens in DTSP

    S2 Ep249: What's Brewing Tampa Bay? Voodoo Brewing Co. Opens in DTSP
    Nov 20 2024
    In this episode of What's Brewing Tampa Bay, host Nanette Wiser discovers a new craft brew pub just around the corner from studio. Voodoo Brewing Co. owner Bob Skepnek combines a decades-long passion for craft beer with his entrepreneurial drive. As a resident of Lutz, Florida, Bob brings a unique background as an electronic design engineer and general manager, with over 30 years in the manufacturing industry, to his new venture at 220 4th St North in downtown St. Pete. He has been brewing his own beer since the 1980s and saw Voodoo Brewing as the perfect opportunity to make a career change when he and his wife relocated from Chicago to Florida...and he made sure that an authentic Chicago Bear slow roasted beef sandwich with sweet or hot peppers, topped with cheddar or mozzarella, is on the menu. Lots of tvs for sports, an arcade for gamers and a full bar open to the street make this a popular after-work hang-out. Sip the big brown ale or Belgian white; there are so many well-balanced brews and ciders to choose from. Especially delicious are the house smoked wings, beer mussels (chorizo and lime!) and a garlic pesto pickle pizza with Voodoo's Voo-Dill seasoning. Check out the food menu, beer menu, and cocktail menu. https://saintpetersburg.voodoobrewery.com/

  • S2 Ep247: THE ART OF MEMOIR Kerry Kriseman Shares Holiday Memory Ideas & Gifts

    S2 Ep247: THE ART OF MEMOIR Kerry Kriseman Shares Holiday Memory Ideas & Gifts
    Nov 20 2024
    Accidental First Lady author Kerry Kriseman consults on memoir writing, helps authors market their books and teaches workshops. Nanette Wiser caught up with her before the holidays to chat about how to share and make new memories, perhaps craft a holiday gift with a simple cookbook (recipes with a little story) or a family memory album (Shutterfly) that can inspire family to talk about their memories, and get to know each other again across the miles and smiles of the holiday table. Kerry also talked to the USF St. Pete campus newspaper staff (The Crow) about how good interview questions and researching people's histories can transform a good article into a great one! Kerry has been busy this fall, and appeared at the St. Pete Beach Library Author Showcase and the Louisville Book Festival. "I enjoyed serving on a panel with 4 memoirists, met Hank the Horse, and enjoyed chatting with authors and readers. I love talking memoir, and the panel format allowed each of us to share our varied paths to memoir, what inspired us to write, and how we navigated the emotions and often-winding path to publication. "
