A massive celebration of the human body is on its way to St. Pete. The traveling art exhibition Nude Nite is coming to Coastal Creative in the Grand Central District March 7-9, and tickets for the spectacular show are on sale now.

Nude Nite showcases more than 150 artists in an incredible display of love and appreciation for the natural form, in all its shapes, sizes and colors. The mixed media exhibition features a wide array of creations, from incredible paintings on canvas to actual humans painted into their costumes, along with music, drinks, burlesque performances and more. The theme this year is called “Form,” meaning guests can expect to move their form, celebrate their form, explore what their form can do, and to love their form.

“Adding world-class body-themed entertainment, DJ music, and immersive experiences is what makes Nude Nite different than your typical ‘art gallery,'” organizers say. “Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with creativity, freedom, that pushes boundaries and challenge conventions. Immerse yourself in a unique atmosphere where you can appreciate the beauty of the human form. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates art in its most daring form.”

Of note, all guests must be at least 21 years of age, and tickets will only be available at the door if they are not sold out in advance. We’d highly recommend reserving yours in advance to make sure you don’t miss out. This is Nude Nite’s first exhibition in St. Pete, following nearly 20 years since getting its start in Orlando in 2005, and a 15-year run in Tampa since 2009.

In addition to the opportunity to see and experience incredible works of art, Nude Nite also serves as a vehicle for body empowerment, showcasing risque and intimate art, and encouraging all to leave the experience more comfortable in their own skin. Their goal is to “inspire transformation and exploration of the human experience through a body empowering immersive art event resulting in a kinder inner and outer world.”

Each year, Nude Nite raises funds for their non-profit, The Artery Inc., which uses the power of art to provide transformative art experiences and opportunities for people. For the 2024 show, they partnered with ‘Gals who Grieve,’ an initiative dedicated to supporting individuals through their grieving process. Together, they are raising funds to provide art opportunities and experiences as a powerful tool for coping and emotional support. By combining their resources and passion for art, they aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those navigating the challenging journey of grief.

Nude Nite will have three shows in St. Pete, taking place March 7, 8, and 9 from 6 pm – midnight. Learn more and get tickets here.
