A Bit of ARTpool History...

Since our opening in 2008, we've grown into the indie art headquarters of the Grand Central area of Saint Petersburg, FL and have our home base across from the historic Haslam's book store on Central Avenue and 20th Street.  Our beautiful retail showroom was designed by Archie Parrish in 1937 which was the original Moon Plumbing Supply Store.  Throughout the past 75 years our location has been the home to Saint Petersburg's original Fred Astaire dance studio, a Polish restaurant, a church, & many other cool mom and pop businesses.  We worked hard to create a special space that stayed true to its original architectural design and refinished historic elements during our renovations including our unique art deco door handles.  Swing by to experience our must see shop filled to the brim with amazing local artwork, jewelry, kitschy handmade indie items as well as a huge stock of vintage clothing, boots, hats, and treasures for guys and gals.  Our retro home wares include funky vintage decor, crates and crates of vinyl records, amazing retro gifts from around the planet for your best of friends and lots of brilliant finds to treat yourself to.  All items are unique, hand picked and professionally cleaned and ready to rock and roll in their new fabulous life. 

If that wasn't enough, brace yourself for our monthly events!  Our open air Crafty Fest markets run from September - June, and our evening art/fashion/music shows that continue to amaze and delight month after month.  Our fantastic location includes a maintained outdoor space, garden courtyard and outside event space to make our ART pARTies,  super special, cool and hip in our industrial, modern and avant garde mecca artist compound.  We can't wait to see you soon in the shop or at an event to experience our special blend of art, music and fashion.  If you are visiting St Pete for the first time be sure to check out our eclectic shop filled with fun delights and gifts for the holidays and year-round!  Thanks for supporting local commerce.  Love and big hugs from the Williams family!
