SoHo’s first-ever Artwalk 🖌

Kick-art your weekend with the first-ever SoHo Artwalk on Saturday, Nov. 5.

It’s a one-day showcase blending a diverse group of over 40 local professional artists. The walk features:

live painters-at-work
caricature drawing
custom poetry by typewriters
roaming poets
a dance performance
t-shirt screenprinting
and other family-friendly art activities.

All kinds of art will lace Tampa’s South Howard Avenue — from pop to contemporary, to surreal, oil, and tons of other genres. A mural entitled “Love Birds” will also be unveiled during the day at the Bern’s Steak House warehouse (1208 S. Howard Ave., Tampa).

The walk starts at the north end of S. Howard Ave. at Rose Bar Tampa (122 South Howard Avenue) + continues along the mile-long stretch to Bella’s Italian Café (1413 South Howard Avenue). The Artwalk begins at 12 and runs until 5 p.m.

The goal is to promote the Tampa Bay area’s rich + deeply artistic communities and residents.
