A longtime tradition in St. Petersburg’s art scene is back after a pandemic-induced hiatus. The Cool Art Show returns to the air-conditioned oasis of the Coliseum on July 24-25.

It seems like last just weekend that I was downloading logos and art for Marvel Cinematic Universe Hall H 2012 announcements, but it was already a year ago now, and it's that time again.

Cool Art, a gallery-retail shop, opened on Sept. 16 and showcases the work of 43 artists, including paintings, photography, ceramics, mixed media and jewelry.
