February First Friday Art Walk Features Cool Art and Grant Award Winner

Gulfport’s First Friday Art Walk is slated for February 5 from 5 to 9 p.m. in the downtown waterfront district. February’s featured artist of the month is Patricia Kluwe Deridian, a Creative Pinellas Emerging Artist grant winner. She will show her work outside the Brenda McMahon Gallery, where she’ll be the Featured Artist of the Month for February. 

McMahon described Deridian’s style as “wonderful, loose and open brushstrokes with a smart urban appeal.”

First Friday Art Walk, hosted by the Gulfport Merchants Chamber and Carroway + Rose, is a juried event that showcases artists throughout Gulfport and the Tampa Bay and Gulf Coast areas.
