About the First Saturday Art Show at Bar@548
Now in its 14th year, the First Saturday Art Show at Bar@548 continues to be a cornerstone of the downtown St. Petersburg arts scene. Each month, Bar@548 hosts a new exhibition featuring local artists in an inclusive, rotating showcase that reflects the diversity, talent, and creative spirit of the community.
.
These monthly shows are designed to be welcoming, grassroots opportunities where artists—whether emerging or established—can exhibit their work without financial barriers. Participation is free for all artists, and 100% of art sales go directly to the creators, reinforcing Bar@548’s and Curator Jenipher Chandley's commitment to supporting independent artistry in a city where access to creative spaces is becoming increasingly limited.
.
Every show brings something new. From painting and mixed media to photography and more experimental work, the First Saturday Art Show offers a space where artists can take creative risks, connect with the public, and build recognition within a supportive environment.
.
The night comes alive with music by DJ JadGetGam, whose curated sets help create a high-energy atmosphere that blends the gallery experience with the spirit of a community celebration. These events invite art lovers, collectors, and curious visitors alike to come together and be part of a living, breathing public art project.
.
This ongoing series is made possible through the dedication of Bar@548 and the curatorial vision of Jenipher Chandley, who together remain committed to providing free, professional exhibition opportunities for local artists. Their shared goal is to nurture creative growth, amplify unheard voices, and ensure art remains visible and accessible in a rapidly evolving city landscape.
.
With monthly rotations, free entry, and an open, ever-changing format, the First Saturday Art Show is more than just an exhibition—it's an ongoing invitation to engage with local art and support those who make it.
More details, themes, and featured artists will be announced ahead of each show.
.
We invite you to mark your calendar, come out, and take part.
