This August, the MFA partners with the Arts Passport Book Club and Tombolo Books for a special collaborative edition featuring The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson—a genre-defying meditation on love, identity, and queer family-making. Poetic, raw, and intellectually bold, Nelson’s writing offers a powerful lens through which to explore themes of transformation and intimacy.

On August 23, readers are invited to gather at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg for a morning of reflection and dialogue. The program includes a group discussion followed by a docent-led tour of Nina Yankowitz: In the Out/Out the In, the MFA’s current retrospective of pioneering multimedia artist Nina Yankowitz. This pairing offers an immersive experience that connects literature and visual art through shared questions of form, identity, and expression.

Arts Passport members receive a complimentary copy of The Argonauts from Tombolo Books, along with free admission to the museum.

Unleash your creativity in a hands-on ceramic workshop led by the talented artists of St. Pete Ceramics, hosted at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg. Designed for adults, this immersive experience invites participants to explore the art of tile-making and hand-building with clay, drawing inspiration from Nina Yankowitz’s evocative installation, “Hell’s Breath – A Vision of the Sounds of Falling.”
Guided by expert instruction, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and sculpt your own expressive relief tile—bringing personal narratives and artistic visions to life in clay. Whether you’re a seasoned maker or a curious beginner, this workshop offers a welcoming space to connect, create, and engage with contemporary art in a meaningful way.
