The Shape of Us: An Exhibition Unveiling Identity and Experience

Mark your calendars for May 16th, as Creative Pinellas proudly presents “The Shape of Us,” an exhibition curated by the talented Freddie Hughes. This event is particularly special, showcasing the works of six distinct Pinellas County artists who delve into themes of identity, environment, and personal experience. Each piece is a vibrant exploration, characterized by energetic colors and expressive forms, inviting viewers to connect with the narratives that shape our lives.

Among the featured artists are Karel Garcia, Kirk Palmer, Alice Picket Lewis, Tavia Reyes, Luke Vest, and Zulu Painter. Their diverse perspectives ensure that there’s something for everyone to appreciate, whether you’re an art aficionado or someone simply curious about the stories conveyed through visual mediums.

The opening reception will be hosted on May 16th from 6 to 8 PM, providing an excellent opportunity to meet the artists, engage in conversations about their inspirations, and perhaps spark new ideas about your own creative journey. The reception is designed to foster community connection, allowing attendees to mingle in an informal atmosphere while enjoying a taste of local art.

Set inside the Gallery at Creative Pinellas, this exhibition is free and open to the public, making it an accessible contribution to the local art scene. It’s a perfect occasion for individuals looking to explore how art intersects with everyday life and identity. So, if you’re in the Largo area this May, make it a point to stop by. You’re bound to leave with a fresh perspective on what art can reveal about us as individuals and as a community.
