Floriopolis

Floriopolis is a local gem. This place is coming up on two years of being in business running almost solely on donations! They have amazing artwork and creations for sale (ONLY LOCAL) in the front «gallery» half, and a large workplace with tables and supplies galore in the back.
They have «classes» of sorts during the week where you pay a small amount of $ 10, and can either bring in your own project to work on, or a lovely volunteer staff member can help you create anything you can think of: with open use of ANYTHING they have!
On the last Saturday night of every month, they have ‘Drink and Draw +color’: a free event (where donations are welcome), they have wines, music, sometimes bites to nosh on, and markers, pencils, and supplies to use for anyone to make some art! Definitely a new monthly tradition for my mother, sister, and myself.
This place is a haven for quirkiness and creativity alike, and it’s so wonderful to see a small city (who admittedly has had trouble supporting the arts in the past) keep a place like this thriving.
GOOD JOB PANAMA CITY. YOU GO PANAMA CITY.
