Duncan McClellan Gallery
Nestled in the Warehouse Arts District of south St. Petersburg, Duncan McClellan Gallery occupies a beautifully reimagined 7,800-square-foot space that was once a fish and tomato packing plant. Today the building is home to one of the most respected glass art galleries in the country, showcasing work by more than 100 nationally and internationally acclaimed artists through rotating monthly exhibitions. The gallery spaces encompass roughly 3,000 square feet indoors, while an additional 5,000 square feet of lushly planted outdoor courtyards and sculpture gardens invite you to wander among large-scale glass installations under the Florida sun. What truly sets this gallery apart is the working hotshop on site, where visiting artists are given the opportunity to create new pieces — meaning you might catch a glass-blowing session in progress during your visit. The DMG School Project, the gallery's educational arm, is deeply committed to teaching the craft through workshops, youth outreach programs, and support for emerging artists. Best of all, admission is completely free and no appointment is needed, making it one of the most accessible and rewarding cultural stops in St. Pete. Whether you are a serious collector or simply curious about what makes glass art so captivating, a visit here will leave an impression.
