Art After Dark + Jazz Night with Fern & Friends Café Clementine Hosts Lost Coast Oyster Co.

Experience a captivating night out, with exclusive after-hours access to the galleries and a performance by one of St. Pete’s most dynamic jazz ensembles, Fern & Friends. Pair your visit with Café Clementine’s L’Apéro hours, featuring organic wines, local Green Bench beer, and a lineup of savory and sweet delights. Plus, enjoy fresh oysters harvested that morning, served ice-cold and shucked to order with custom mignonettes and house-made toppings, at a raw bar pop-up by Lost Coast Oyster Co. Founders Brian and Lindsay will be on hand to share real knowledge about sustainable Florida oysters—from where they come from to how they’re handled. Art After Dark occurs on select Thursday evenings throughout the year, with discounted admission, special programming, engaging docent-led tours, and more. It’s the perfect night out.
