Magic Grasshopper Ribbon Cutting

Arts & Culture

Join us tonight at 6pm, for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for our newest outdoor installation, Magic Grasshopper by renowned artist Yvette Mayorga. Standing 30 feet long in front of the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, this fantastical, pink-hued sculpture is much more than meets the eye. It is a powerful tribute to the American Dream, weaving together 90s nostalgia, lowrider culture, and critical narratives of migration and labor. After the ceremony, we invite you to head inside the MFA and explore our galleries; please note that museum admission on Thursday nights is discounted to $16 for adults and is free for MFA Members and those under 18 years old. In the spirit of Magic Grasshopper: Pink Attire Encouraged!
