PHOTOS: Artists Shine at Harbor Nights

Local artists were in the spotlight over the weekend at Harbor Nights, the inaugural fundraiser for CSA Palm Harbor which is the organization that funds The Centre, Palm Harbor Parks and Recreation and the Palm Harbor Library.

The theme for the cocktail party-style event was "Community Masterpieces: Where Art Takes Many Forms".

Clayton Swartz, who grew up in Pinellas County, was the featured artist. Swartz makes colorful aluminum sculptures. Animal sculptor Joyce Curvin and pastel artist Lorraine Potocki were among the artists who also displayed their work.

The party was held in The Centre's main hall, which the organization also rents out for banquets, weddings, parties, meetings and other activities. 

The Centre raises money to support itself by renting its facilities and holding fundraisers like Harbor Nights. The Centre is also partially funded by tax revenue. 

CSA Palm Harbor is located at 1500 16th St., (727) 771-6000.
