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.

About

 JOIN US IN ST. PETE

The retreat will be held at the St. Pete Yacht Club, located at 11 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

Here are a few nearby hotels we recommend, but you are welcome to stay anywhere around the city or beach!


There are also plenty of AirBnBs in the area, or split a suite with a Circle sister!

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.
