The first Saturday of every month from 10 am to 4 pm, the block on 19th Street between 8th & 9th Avenues is transformed into an art lover’s haven. Artists Dan Balk and Arnold Martinez open their studios and engage with the public with demonstrations and discussions on their work. In addition, artwork from local artists, crafters and musicians present their work to the public.
Art on 19th St. in Tampa’s historic Ybor City only gets better when visitors find out it’s completely FREE!
