Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

The Vitale brothers are holding the grand opening of their new gallery on Saturday. Expect free food, drinks, and admission to a night of fashion, music, and artistic display.

I promised not to reveal any spoilers, but I can say this: the new St. Pete location is going to highlight a melding of high-brow and commercial art that should appeal to connoisseurs and 20-somethings looking for a hip place to party. The gallery space has a flexibility that lends itself to a variety of shows and performances, while the Vitale brothers’ attention to detail has assured a quality experience. The brothers are also offering up wall space to local artists and are willing to negotiate on the price.

With a business that dates back 15 years, the Vitales, John, Paul, and Joey, have become a staple of the local art scene. With their St. Pete office combining local commercial art and printing capabilities as well as studio and gallery space for artists, they hope to make the purchasing of art accessible to everyone.

The opening, entitled Family Business, will include art by Frank Strunk, music by Lounge Cat and DJ Mega, fashion by Blackbird & Raven and JJ, and much more. Wine, beer, and food is free. There is also going to be an area set up to buy prints and other Vitale merchandise.

The show is being held at 2740 25th Street North in St. Pete. It starts at 8 p.m. and ends at midnight. Check the website to find out more about the event or their gallery: vitalestudio.com.
