Frida Kahlo at The Dalí
The new exhibition at the Salvador
Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg
features more than 60 items associated
with Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican
artist who was married to muralist
Diego Rivera. The show explores
Kahlo’s life through more than 60
pieces, including 15 of her original
paintings, seven drawings and more
than 45 of her personal photographs.
Her tumultuous life was filled with
pain, yet she found joy through
her art and indomitable spirit. The
Frida Kahlo exhibit continues at

The Open Road
This exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, is
a visual tour de force of 100 photographs that trace the rise of
the road culture in America. This unforgettable journey begins
with images from the 1950s and continues to the present day.
There are three photographs from Florida. There are also three
photographs that were made from film stills, one of which is
from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho. The American road
has been a muse for writers, musicians and filmmakers, just as it
was for each of these photographers who captured the spirit of
“The Open Road” in their work. The show will open Thursday,
February 9, and end on Sunday, June 4.
Mike Cheezem’s JMC Communities has
purchased the former Belleview Biltmore
property to create Belleview Place at 275
Belleview Boulevard in Belleair. Belleview
Place will be a luxury residential community
on the bluffs over Clearwater Harbor,
alongside the Belleair Country Club and its
two golf courses. There will be 132 residences
in four mid-rise condominium buildings and
carriage homes/townhomes. The centerpiece
of the project will be 35 guest rooms in the
new Belleview Inn that will be created from
a repositioned section of the original historic
hotel. The community’s architecture will
complement the Belleview Inn’s iconic look.
