Many people who finish spring cleaning with an abundance of unwanted household items have a yard sale. When an artist such as Coralette Damme cleans house, the result is a trove of past work that lands in her "yART Sale." "It's like a yard sale but for art," she writes. Damme creates and exhibits in galleries and at art festivals under the name Crafty Hag. This sale will feature paintings and prints (some designed to be stationery) at reduced prices. Even a few pieces of stained glass, which she stopped making years ago, will be available. The event is Saturday at Damme's studio, 2021 12th St. N, St. Petersburg, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Also on Saturday, during the last day of the Chasco Fiesta in New Port Richey, "Chalk About It" will feature youth and adult artists creating sidewalk chalk art on Nebraska Avenue in the downtown area.
