Now that the Tampa Museum of Art is closed until March, it’s time to spread our wings and discover other art installations the area has to offer.
Trying to escape drunken crowds and invading pirates? Dunedin Fine Art Center is holding a two day event called Contain It! Friday and Saturday.
The opening party starts at 8 p.m. Fri. and is $10 for admission. The event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday is free.
The exhibit is a series of 10 PODs (storage units) transformed by artists. For the party Friday night, there will also be DJs, Red Bull lounges, and artist/performer John Kilduff.
While you’re there, take some time out to view DFAC’s other exhibits, like the privacy squashing pictures from Les Slesnick’s Private Spaces and Elizabeth Faubert’s whimsical photographic take on words in The Light of Language.
For more information on Contain It!, current exhibits, or attending a workshop with John Kilduff, call DFAC at 727.298.DFAC .
DFAC is located at 1143 Michigan Blvd., Dunedin, FL 34698.

This will be cool - it is an idea that I first saw in Miami Beach where it is one of the highlights of Art Basel weekend.

I’ve noticed storage containers and other small spaces are being used for all sorts of innovative spaces. My favorite are the pipe hotel rooms.

In fact I recall one guy came up with modular homes based on old Shipping containers. It was a green LEED certified home of all recycyled materials, energy efficiency etc. and was quite nice.
