Western and Wildlife Art

Opening in April 2018 the James Museum of Western Art is the latest addition to the vibrant art scene of St Petersburg Florida.  The collection occupies more the 30,000 square feet of space in the renovated downtown building. On display are more than 400 pieces of art including paintings, sculpture, and jewelry selected from over 3000 pieces of art from the personal collection of Tom and Mary James. Very early in their life, they began to collect pieces they liked with a concentration on supporting living artists.  As time went on the collection grew to encompass a wide range of artist including contemporary, and past artists.

The themed gallery space is arranged by
