ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Creative Clay’s annual Good Folk Fest returns Saturday, October 17, bringing live blues, art, and community together for an evening benefiting inclusive arts programming for artists with disabilities.

Headlining the festival is the Betty Fox Band, performing live from 6–9 p.m. at the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club. Guests can also enjoy dancing, shuffleboard, food trucks, a full bar by Mickey’s Café & Organics, and an art auction featuring original works by Creative Clay member artists.

The auction will include the highly sought-after Iconic Landmarks of Tampa Bay collection, a favorite among collectors and community supporters. Guests can also shop unique merchandise and have their portraits drawn by Creative Clay member artists.
A special VIP Meet & Greet with Betty Fox will take place from 5–6 p.m., offering guests an opportunity to meet the acclaimed blues artist before the performance.

“Good Folk Fest is a celebration of the creativity, talent, and community that make Creative Clay special,” said Kim Dohrman, CEO. “Every ticket helps ensure artists with disabilities have opportunities to develop their creative voices and participate fully in the arts.”
Since 1995, Creative Clay has helped people with disabilities pursue more inclusive lives through expressive, educational, and vocational experiences in the arts. Proceeds from Good Folk Fest support that mission and Creative Clay’s ongoing programming.
Tickets are available through the Events tab at creativeclay.org.
