I love going to Florida Craft Art for gifts for friends and family. They are a great place to find unique items that are priced right.

This store has amazing art by very talented crafters, no junk. Lots of glass, ceramics, and artwork. There seems to be exhibits each time I come, and today there were Buddhist monks actively at their art of sandwork. It was absolutely beautiful, and watching them meticulously apply the colored sand into this vibrant design Mandalay design was amazing, such patience! read more

What a beautiful little gem in St. Pete. It was wonderful that they hosted the Tibetan monks. Their art work is so precise yet ephemeral. There was a lot of beautiful clay pieces for sale as well as other local art. The selection is beautiful! I didn't purchase anything but the service was great for those who did. Art is as valuable as you make it. Check this place out! read more

We went to see the Tibetan monks create mandalas and what a tremendous exhibit! I love that they also had pieces from local artists with their interpretations of mandalas! In terms of value, the shop definitely had something for everyone. I'm not sure you can really put a value on art as it is so personal to the buyer. But there were many pieces in there that I would happily purchase and display! Everyone was so friendly. I look forward to going back! read more

I love popping into this shop before grabbing a latte at Beans & Barlour or dinner at one of the many fantastic nearby eateries.

Great gallery and shop in downtown St. Petersburg. The variety and quality of art there is amazing and the store offers unique items in a variety of price points. read more

I live in a community that is woefully short on shops offering locally made fine crafts. When I saw this one listed in the downtown guide to St Petes, I had to find it. The variety of crafts offered from ceramics, to glass, to textiles, to jewelry is wonderful, evidence of some very fine craftsmanship. It is all displayed very nicely to be able to see everything. I did not have time to browse the exhibit gallery as well. The only downside, and maybe it's a response to Covid, is that the prices were a bit above my budget. read more

Any visit to St. Pete always includes the Florida CraftArt for me. This shop includes a wide variety of art in a wide variety of price points. Whether you are looking for a treat or a gift, there is something for anyone who appreciates creativity. The jewelry ranges from fun valentines to serious stone craft. There are beautiful fabric crafts that you don't see in many shops. There is a Gallery with the current show of excellent large sculpture & smaller jewelry pieces by the same artist. The very charming & helpful staff are also artists in FLCraftArt. Whether sight-seeing or purchasing this is a great stop to appreciate the crafts of St. Pete. read more

Visited yesterday to see the Mandala Arts exhibit and the Tibetan Buddhist Monks Healing Mandala Sand Painting and procession to the Bay. Thanks to the management for bringing this to our community and to WMNF Radio for publicizing the event. Nice gallery. read more

If you love going to art festivals then you'd love this place, because it's like having an art festival for you to browse around any day of the year, you don't have to wait for a particular weekend for it to happen. You can go in, to look for some unique gift for a friend, to find some hand crafted accessories, to support local artists, or to browse special exhibits if there's one happening. While they have pieces that are hundreds of dollars or over, you can as easily find small ticket items that fit your budget. read more

Took a terrific walking tour (of St Pete's murals) through Florida Craft Art. The tour was led by James; very knowledgeable of the St. Petersburg art scene, nice guy, great tour, reasonably priced & a great introduction to the city. Highly recommend. The Florida Craft Art shop itself was also delightful, full of unique, awesome locally crafted pieces. Recommend!! read more

I finally got to visit Florida CraftArt during the Saturday St. Pete Art Walk and it was a complete treat! The crafts range from sculptures to dioramas, mixed media installations, and functional art (think jewelry, utensils, and greeting cards). The price tags are itttty bittttty, and so don't be shy about asking a staff member to assist if you're interested in making a purchase. The showpieces change frequently and so it's a place you can visit over and over again. During the Art Walk they also open the upstairs studios, artists are there to speak about their work and it's just the darn coolest. St. Pet They are still requesting (kind of requiring) masks to be worn in the main gallery space. read more

This is a great store filled with usable art items from Florida artists, many of whom are from the Bay area. I swung in here after having lunch nearby. Every once in a while I like to take a PTO day and call it a "Rebecca Day" which means I am going to do stuff I like to do all day. Wandering downtown St. Pete, checking out all the little stores is something I enjoy doing and I am very "artsy fartsy." I didn't buy anything, but there were several things I would consider going back for that would make great gifts or great wearable art for me (particularly some of the cool earrings I found.) Items come in all price ranges, including under $20 which is nice when looking for gifts and things for yourself. I will go back for sure! read more

There was no art that really caught my eye, but it was not for lack of art, this is a very large space. Ended up buying some locally made deodorant for $12. The employees were friendly I picked up a paper copy of the Saturday evening art crawl from this location. read more

Shop local and support artists from across the state. Plenty of gifts, jewelry, and decor. Non profit coalition... even better!

Florida Craft Art use to be called Florida Craftsmen. This is actually an organization that is all about local Florida artists and bringing them together so the community can be aware of all they do. They have many events throughout the year to showcase all their works, not only at this building, but also their huge craft show. They have a number of events such as the St. Pete mural tour, the art craft show in November, And Art Walks just to name a few. Walking into this building is like walking into a museum to me. I like it even better than an art museum per se. There are so many different art forms to see. They also sell them as well! This is definitely a great spot just to see a fraction of the art in St. Pete! read more

Omygosh I saw real living Tibetan monks today for Buddha's birthday celebration! They celebrated the female representation of Avalokitesvara the Buddha of compassion. Her name is Tara and she embodies fearlessness, and protection. She also removes obstacles and removes suffering from Samsara. They created this really pretty, colorful green Buddha sand mandala and it's so vibrant and serene! It is full of life and serenity. I also loved walking around and looking at all the artsy objects and statues they had showcased in the store portion of the gallery. read more

Unique and interesting art pieces from local artists. I just wish I lived in Florida to enjoy it more.

Downtown St Petersburg has more art galleries than some of the larger US cities, all concentrated in one area. Florida CraftArt showcases some of the best local talent of not just fine art, but craftsman and women from Florida. This is a great shop for home gifts and decor as well, all handmade locally. Housing mostly 3D artwork, exhibits rotate often and include: handmade apparel, jewelry, pottery, home decor, kitchenware, dishes, ornaments, and even handmade cards. Last time I visited, the guest speaker in the side room/gallery was a local fashion designer of recycled fashion. Visiting Florida CraftArt reminds us of how many talented craftpeople live in Tampa Bay. read more

Florida Craftsmen is really one of the gems for independent shops in the area. They feature so many different things from different people, it's wonderful. I would be more apt to classify this as a shop than a gallery (though there is a gallery space separate from the shopping), but everything is clearly curated by someone with a great eye. They carry textile pieces (clothing, bags, etc.), ceramics, glass pieces, jewelry/watches, decorative pieces, smaller furniture pieces, beautiful doors, and cards/stationary type things. I was surprised and thrilled to see at least two independent artists I'm already familiar with in here. One is a really quirky illustrator and the other is a fiber artist. There is a lot to check out here and a perfect place to shop for gifts for that artsy type that appreciates the unusual. read more

After you grab a beer, a bite to eat or an ice cream at any one of the coolest places on Central, make a point to stop by Florida CraftArt! This place is filled with incredible artwork from talented Florida artists. The staff was incredibly friendly and we talked about the Saturday morning mural walking tour. I will sign up for that. In the meantime, show your support and stop in to say hello. Take some pictures and give credit where credit is due! read more

Did you know the second floor of this 'art store' is filled with studios for local artists to create, display, and sell their creations? TREASURE OF ART The creations of dozens and dozens of local artists can be found here. I'm not sure how they choose who to feature or how long they keep their work, but as a consumer this is a great place to find 'local and personal' gifts. Of course, that means the selections will vary slightly every time you walk in. That game board purse probably won't be available next time. Naturally there's a lot of figurines, jewelry, and sculptures. Prices have always been reasonable--actually very close to buying a similar, generic product from a home décor store--which means you get great deals. PERSONAL TOUCHES The staff is prepared to wrap up your purchases as gifts. They've also commented on the artists of whatever product you buy and will include a card telling more about the person who created your purchase. THAT SECOND FLOOR A Yelp Event ("Gallery of Yelp") allowed me to explore the second floor studios. The second Saturday art walks also allow this without any pressure. Besides chatting with artists, you're bound to see some working studios. The hallways are a gallery in itself and many artists also display their finished products for viewing or buying. read more
