Chad Mize was one of the artists participating in the SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival, and on the organizing committee, where a dozen or so artists covered city walls with beautiful murals. “It’s like an outside 24-hour gallery,” said Mize. There is a difference between a painting and a public work of art, and he explains, “I feel like those are the memories, and that becomes art in itself. Public art becomes a backdrop whereas a painting just sits in someone’s home or a gallery.”

He is also working with St. Pete Threads creating t-shirt designs, and has always been fascinated with how the message on a shirt can move people. “Growing up, I always loved getting a band t-shirt when I went to a concert,” he says. “You can make a statement. It’s something that I’ve always been drawn to.”
