GULFPORT, FL \u2014 Gulfport Art in the Yard<\/a>, a biannual citywide open-air gallery, returns Saturday with more than 70 artists showcasing and selling their works from their homes and, in some cases, inviting visitors into their personal studio. <\/p>\n

The event launched in March 2021, \u201con the heels of COVID,\u201d Courtney Prokopas, a Gulfport artist and one of the grassroots organizers, told Patch. \u201cIt was a way that the community could come together and support one another, while allowing you to interact as much as you would like to interact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, it\u2019s been held on the first Saturday of November and the third Saturday of March. <\/p>\n

The festival showcases the spirit of Gulfport<\/a>, Prokopas said. \u201cIt really was a way for the artist community to celebrate artists of all abilities but particularly, it was to honor elder artists who weren\u2019t involved in the art circuit any longer because it is difficult to show your work, set up at markets, set up at fairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cGulfport is this beautiful little microcosm where you really get to know your neighbors and there really is an intergenerational exchange. The city lends itself to getting to know your neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event features a range of artists and mediums<\/a>, from masterclass oil paintings to yard art to jewelry to refurbished and upcycled vintage chandeliers.<\/p>\n

There will be artists as young as 5 and some as old as 90. Mayor Karen Love, one of the event\u2019s early organizers, is also participating on Saturday. <\/p>\n

A full map of artists can be found below: <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really fantastic. Something a lot of people say is, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t really know if I\u2019m an artist,\u2019 and everyone in the community will speak up and say, \u2018You\u2019re an artist. You\u2019re absolutely an artist. Are you kidding me? You\u2019re an artist,\u2019\u201d Prokopas said. <\/p>\n

A big part of the fun is getting to explore the community and meet people along the way, she added. \u201cIt\u2019s a scavenger hunt. It\u2019s as much about getting inspiration and meeting your neighbors or meeting an entire town, as much as it is about buying art.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GULFPORT, FL \u2014 Gulfport Art in the Yard, a biannual citywide open-air gallery, returns Saturday with more than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-26207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
