Visual arts in Tampa Bay have been making a steady comeback. November brings three art festivals, a major Van Gogh exhibition and a number of gallery shows. But things are happening with safety in mind, so there are still mask and social distancing requirements. Check with each venue before going.

This special edition of Shine is called Sea Walls: St. Petersburg, and for the first time it features a lineup of all Florida artists, including locals Bask, iBoms and Nneka Jones. From Nov. 7-14, they’ll paint murals that highlight concerns in local waters, including sea level rise, plastic pollution and algae blooms. For a map of locations, visit stpeteartsalliance.com.
