Central to this mission is Public Education and the support of artists through regular meetings, workshops, lectures and events such as the annual “Paint the Town” plein air painting competition.

SPRAA’s efforts enhance the city’s cultural status by promoting St. Petersburg as a hub of activity and opportunity for artists and patrons.

SPRAA sees itself as serving the public interest by fostering an ever expanding appreciation for Representational Art rooted in local culture and connected to the larger national movement.
