What to
St. Petersburg, Florida is a charming, small city with TONS to do. Shelby Dillon Studio is only 5 minutes from Downtown, where there are world-class art museums, over 75 galleries, the stunning pier, live music venues, and an array of delicious dining options. Just 10-15 minutes west, you'll hit the beach, which features superfine white sand and warm Gulf water. November is a phenomenal time of year to be here - the weather is warm, dry, and sunny.

Accommodations
The right
The closest major airport is Tampa International Airport (TPA). Some smaller airlines also fly into St. Pete / Clearwater (PIE), so it’s worth a look, especially if you are joining us from a more remote area.
The Studio is a few blocks east of 1-275 Exit 20 North / 21 South.
