Morean Arts Center
Private
The Morean Arts Center, a nonprofit in downtown St. Petersburg, offers week-long summer art camps for students in 1st through 12th grade (roughly ages 6 to 16), exploring a range of mediums including wet-on-wet watercolor, mono printing, and oil pastel resist that aren't typically available in school. Camps run at the main center at 719 Central Ave, with extended morning and afternoon care available (8am to 5:30pm).

★★★★★M Ortiz (Epicurean Explorer Rater)The Morean Arts Center is a great place to spend an afternoon. The Chihuly exhibit is impressive and beautifully presented, and afterward you can head across the street for a glass‑blowing demonstration if you choose — a really cool way to see the craft up close. The whole experience is well organized, interesting, and worth the visit.
★★★★★CandySo cool! Highly recommend. The demo and the finished product were exquisite.
★★★★★Dawn Fiorentino IzziI’ve had the wonderful experience of taking Tidal Tuesday pottery classes from Paul Dobelhoff. His passion for pottery is very contagious, he creates a positive, welcoming environment for students of all levels. What truly sets him apart is his generosity with his time and knowledge. He is always willing to offer extra guidance, answer questions, and provide thoughtful feedback, never making you feel rushed. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, he meets you where you are and genuinely wants to see you improve and create amazing pieces. Paul adds topics and instruction that you won’t find in any other studio such as, how to fix/repair any problem with breakage and glazes, and how to make your own underglazes!! I’ve learned so much from him and always look forward to each session. I highly recommend Paul’s classes to anyone interested in pottery—he’s not only a skilled instructor but also a truly kind and supportive teacher.
★★★★★Toni ThompsonThe free admission center displays all kinds of art creations by local and international artists. The center offers all kinds of art classes from photography, painting, drawing, metal work, jewelry, glass, and more for adults and kids. They have some open studios for budding artists to come in and create. Art openings occur about once a month. Memory mornings include tours focused on people with dementia and their caregivers to provide a focused, quieter visit to the center. I'm looking forward to the Jan 17 exhibit of pottery by Florida university students. Wheel chair access throughout. Heavy door at entrance. Wheel chair access parking with most spaces pay by app and a few free street spaces with a 2 hour limit.
★★★★★• Travel • Food • Art • CorrineLove this local gem of an art gallery! Wonderful showcases to be seen here by some talented artists. Check out the talent they have when you can. I loved seeing some of the SHINE ON Festival Artists on display & capturing it in a creative, unique way with my glass spheres. Never a dull moment of creative viewing at this charming establishment with friendly staff! I'm excited to see what future shows they offer to the public & and the majority of the time is free. I've even been to a cupcake contest and tasting here! I highly recommend it!
