ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 The artists behind St. Petersburg\u2019s #PaintItPink public art project will meet the community from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower Sales Gallery<\/a>, located at 106 Central Ave., Suite C.<\/p>\n

Visitors can meet the muralists and use virtual-reality goggles to explore floor plans, finishes and views inside the future Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The #PaintItPink initiative transformed six buildings near Fourth Street South and Fourth Avenue South with bright pink paint and murals created by local artists.<\/p>\n

Five works from the project will become permanent, full-scale installations inside the new residential tower. They include a piece by local artist Kris Markovich, whose work won the project\u2019s People\u2019s Choice vote.<\/p>\n

Developers said a construction fence is expected to go up around the site within the next few weeks. The fence will feature large displays of artwork from the #PaintItPink campaign.<\/p>\n

The planned 29-story tower at 344 Fourth St. S will include 164 residences. Developers say it will be the first Roche Bobois-branded residential tower in the United States and is expected to be completed in 2029.<\/p>\n
