Over 300 artists showed and sold art in Old Hyde Park Village this past weekend. The annual Hyde Park Spring Art Fest had a full array of art venders from all over America showcasing jewelry, sculptures, pottery, blown glass, silver metal figurines colorful art and pictures. Local Ybor City artist and GaYBOR member, David Edmund had a very busy show. “I sold out. And that is a good thing.” he told me.

The whole South Tampa villagers were abuzz talking with friends, negotiating prices and were happy spirited. Art enthusiasts shoppers were carrying away large canvas pictures from the white tented areas. Some wrapped and some just happy to be in the new owners hands. And I even saw pink pigs fly!!!

I had to stop by the Paris Eatery for some interesting Green Apple New Orleans Beignets. Yummy!!! Though the air was aromatic pleasing with a variety of fresh brewed coffees, charcoal BBQ Beef and grilled Chicken kabobs booths. It seemed to be another great Tampa art show.
