  • Do It Today: 21st Annual Winterfest Fine Arts Festival

    Believe it or not, Winterfest is more than just a seasonal beer. Anna Maria Island Art League is holding its 21st Annual Winterfest Fine Arts Festival this weekend. Over 100 artists from the region have been selected to participate in one of the oldest and largest juried arts and crafts festivals in Manatee County. The Young at Art children’s exhibit, the Cajun and bluegrass music, the variety of specialty foods: All these are sure to add to the atmosphere of the celebration. Sounds a lot better than the winter atmosphere I’m used to: numb fingers and snowy shoes. 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Dec. 13 and 14, Holmes Beach City Hall Park, 5901 Marina Drive, Sarasota, free, 778-2099 or islandartleague.org.

    Whatever floats your boat

    If you would like to live out your DiCaprio meets Winslet fantasies today you may want to head over to G. WIZ and check out Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. The exhibit features real artifacts found on the ocean floor from the famous 1912 shipwreck and focuses on the human stories behind the 2,228 passengers that were on board. The exhibition has been viewed by 20 million people worldwide and includes re-created cabins, an iceberg display and a number of authentic artifacts. You even receive a replica boarding pass of a Titanic passenger when you enter the exhibit. How cool is that? That’s iceberg cool.

  • CL’s First Look: Clothesline

    “I would love to start a screenprinting business and design my own T-shirts, but these damn screenprinting machines cost so much money! What will I ever do? I know… I’ll just MacGyver one together out of homemade material and set it up above our new shop at 537 South Pineapple Ave.” This was the thought process of Austin Kowal and Evan Ekasala when they developed the business model for their newest venture, Clothesline Tees. The two 20-somethings are coming out with some wicked designs that they are limiting to one-per-shirt-size right now. They’ve only been in the screenprinting business for a little over three months, but they are already getting the hang of it —  the shirts look sweet.

    I’m hanging out at the shop today to find out more: Keep checking back to get the full scoop, or just pick up next week’s issue. It’s the cover, bitches.
