Arts In

Kim Dohrman works in an art studio full of laughter and music. She’s the Executive Director of Creative Clay, St. Pete’s long and much-beloved arts center whose mission is to make the arts accessible for all. Creative Clay helps people with disabilities find their paths as working artists who actively create, market and sell their artwork. Kim shares how much she loves her job, the rich artistic programs Creative Clay offers - and the vibrant, expressive artists who work there. Creative Clay’s big fundraiser, Creative Clay Fest, takes place Sunday, November 11 at 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Pete’s Warehouse Arts District, with visual art, music, food and festivity. You can find the details at creativeclay.org/creative-clay-fest. Find out more about Creative Clay at creativeclay.org. Visit Creative Clay during ArtWalk, when the gallery is open from 5-9 p.m. with live music, every second Saturday.
