ST. PETERSBURG, FL \u2013 From March 12\u201314, 2026, Nude Nite, the nation\u2019s largest celebration of figurative art, returns to St. Petersburg, Florida with a new theme and an even deeper intention. This year\u2019s immersive experience transforms a 15,000-square-foot warehouse at Coastal Creative (2201 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33712) into a desert-inspired mirage \u2014 where illusions fall away and raw truth rises from the sand.
Now in its 21st year, Nude Nite continues the legacy started by founder Kelly Stevens, and is now led by her daughter, Sloan Waranch. This is a generational, women-led production, built on the belief that art, community, and the body are powerful tools for connection, conversation, and transformation. Fully female-produced and operated, Nude Nite is more than an art show \u2014 it\u2019s a living legacy.
\u201cAt its core, Nude Nite is about truth. The body is the great equalizer,\u201d says Executive Producer Sloan Waranch. \u201cThis year, we were inspired by the desert \u2014 a place that strips things bare. It\u2019s about seeing clearly, feeling deeply, and stepping into something real.\u201d
This year\u2019s theme, \u201cMirage,\u201d explores the interplay between illusion and reality. Guests are invited to walk into the unknown, guided by heat, instinct, and curiosity.
\ud83d\udd25 What Awaits Inside the Mirage:
\u2022 Over 150+ works of provocative figurative art by boundary-pushing artists from across the U.S.
