Floriopolis is a non-profit 501c3 community arts and culture metropolis. We feature the art of local artists, run our own events and support others' events, offer a free art project every day, operate a retail business and fully functioning studio, and more. AND, we're completely run by volunteers. All in the name of improving Historic St Andrews. We're a fun group and always have a good time putting collective energy towards our mission.
Floriopolis is a really great place for artists to show & sell their artwork for a reasonable cost. The location is in a Historic District of Bay County & draws a great deal of foot traffic especially during tourist season & events. However Floriopolis uses social media to rant/coerce/otherwise persuade their artists to put in volunteer time, in a manner that is verbally confrontational/ rude and rather somewhat 'threatening' in the sense that they will keep lists of those who "don't donate", will "like you better" if you DO donate time/money & etc. There is no wiggle room to avoid being a villain-ized if you don't donate or volunteer.
