After the paintings are completed they will be displayed on the artist’s easels along the park’s north boundary for a public “Art Stroll.” During the “Art Stroll” from 12:30-2:30 pm the public will be encouraged to vote for their favorite and help us choose a “People’s Choice Award.” At 2:30 pm the artwork will be judged, and awards will be given out at the Main Stage.

Noon to 5pm. Free. Fresh Squeezed. Morean Arts Center 719 Central Avenue St. Petersburg, FL 33701. Performance art you can drink with a straw!

As part of the six-artist exhibition “Fresh Squeezed: Emerging Artists in Florida” at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, award-winning performance artist Brian Feldman will be presenting a juicy new project of the same name; his first in Tampa Bay.

“Fresh Squeezed” will be the longest performance art piece in Pinellas County history, as well as of Brian’s career, at 140 hours over 23 days.

During each weekend of the exhibition, Brian Feldman will be in the gallery window meticulously making and serving 100% fresh squeezed Florida orange juice in compostable cups for gallerygoers to enjoy, and all for the price of a drawing.

Draw him a picture of an orange for a small!

A picture of a glass of orange juice gets you a medium!

Or you can draw Brian making your orange juice and receive a large!

Oranges provided by Maxwell Groves est. 1935.

Colored pencils, crayons, markers, watercolor paint sets and card stock paper will all be provided.

The gallery walls surrounding Brian are envisioned to be filled with over a thousand drawings by the end of the exhibition.

The performance will be live streamed in its entirety at periscope.tv/BrianFeldman.

“Fresh Squeezed” references [1] both parts of the exhibition’s name (literally “Fresh Squeezed,” and “Emerging” [newly created, i.e. orange juice]); [2] the once-proud citrus industry in Pinellas County, 90 years removed from its heyday*; [3] Brian’s lifelong love of fresh squeezed Florida orange juice (that you can chew!), thanks to his grandfather’s daily act of making it for him as a child; and [4] his career-long exploration of durational and participatory performance art.

2pm to 4pm. Free. Indie Lens Pop-Up screening of National Bird.Winter Park Public Library 460 E New England Ave, Winter Park, Florida 32789.  NATIONAL BIRD follows whistleblowers who, despite possible consequences, are determined to break the silence around one of the most controversial issues of our time: the secret U.S. drone war. The film gives rare insight through the eyes of both survivors and veterans who suffer from PTSD while plagued by guilt over participating in the killing of faceless people in foreign countries.
