The Art Society is located inside the brick Train Station building.
Free parking is located in the lot off 59th Street, behind the building.
Artists and Photographers from the Pinellas Park Art Society meet to display their work in the gallery (Some of the art is for sale). Some artists work on their paintings and drawings, and some have even brought instruments to provide music (you can sing along!). There are also classes, workshops, and demonstrations. The group is open to all forms of visual fine art, and encourages new types of visual art.
New members are always welcome. Class and show schedules are published on the web site. The most up-to-date information is always available by checking in with the Facebook group, which is open to all artists, fans, and friends.
