ST PETERSBURG, FL, UNITED STATES, June 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ARTicles Art Gallery & Custom Framing with Leslie Curran Gallery and D-Gallerie will be hosting an official grand opening of their new location on Friday, June 18 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM at 1234 Dr. MLK Street N, St. Petersburg. Both galleries relocated to larger spaces in the MLK Business District, Uptown St Pete to accommodate their expansion of art offerings, exhibition space, and services.

“I'm excited that ARTicles has grown as we have taken our team to the next level. Together with D-Gallerie, our new location will be a destination with a wide selection of art available to our collectors and patrons.
