Local SHINE Festival - Three-Wheel Vehicle Takes Over Streets

I’m reaching out on behalf of SHINE Festival, and in its seventh year, it is back and tackling a new art canvas by partnering with Polaris Slingshot on a striking three-wheel vehicle that will hit the streets as one of the festival’s murals. That’s right-a moving canvas! Chad Mize, a local St. Petersburg multimedia artist, designer and muralist is bringing three-wheel art to the community, and transformed a matte black 2021 Polaris Slingshot in his signature free flow doodle style (photos below). Local art fans planning to attend this year’s festival have the opportunity to do so like never before, as SHINE will be running a special social media promotion that will provide the opportunity to visit each mural in this year’s festival from the open-air cockpit of the custom-painted, three-wheel Slingshot. Do you or someone on your team have plans to cover the festival this year from October 15-24? If so, would love to see if there’s any interest in riding passenger in the Slingshot and get a new perspective of the festival. I’ve included photos below on Chad’s vehicle, and attached the official press release with more details for reference. Looking forward to connecting. All the Best,Kim LINK TO ADDITIONAL HI-RES PHOTOS
