Largo's Art and Floral show featured a variety of artwork by local artists. The gallery displayed works in mixed media, pen and ink, watercolors, acrylics, oils, floral arrangements and Ikebana. The show awarded prizes in four categories: art, floral art, art-inspired floral combinations and Ikebana.

Artists Muriel Scrivner and Patrick J. Gaughan joined artistic forces in a live art demonstration. Their paired work, Gaughan's floral painting and Scrivner's floral art arrangement, were auctioned to benefit the Florida Sheriff Youth Ranch.

The event was held at the Largo Community Center on Feb. 25 and Feb. 26, 2011. Attendees enjoyed the art gallery, demonstrations, workshops and vendors.
