Florida CraftArt in St. Petersburg hosted “The Art of Healing” event a couple of months back.

It included six performances by artists, including Julliard-trained dancers, a musician with The Florida Orchestra and Dr. Alex Harris, who has performed with Aretha Franklin and John Legend. The performances told stories about racism, tolerance and acceptance through drama, poetry, music and ballet.

Against the backdrop of current social justice issues, “The Art of Healing” feels prophetic.

“The Art of Healing” video is being offered for free to the public by Florida CraftArt to help educate, increase awareness and foster constructive conversations about racism. Organizations may also set up a free online viewing of “The Art of Healing” with cast member participation in a Q&A session.

#GenoAteTampa: Geno’s favorite spots to eat in St. Pete

• Engine No. 9

  They're a bit pricey. You'll pay about $20 for a burger, tots and a Coke. But their burgers are creative and top notch. The goat cheese burger is my usual.

• Big Stein’s Deli

  Share

  This monstrosity you see in the photo is the "Park Avenue" triple decker. Roast beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, cole slaw pilled high with Russian dressing.

• Mazzaros

  Share

  It gets no better than Mazzaros. The Hot Italian #20 sandwich is my must get. But they have fresh pasta, pastries, wines, cheeses and it's the only place you can find the blueberry soda from Maine I love.
• Fresh Kitchen

  Share

  It's on 4th not far from the radio station. It's a healthier choice and I'm not known for healthy eating so you know it's good. Only strike against this place is the portion size is kind of small. But it's one of those places most go to eat healthy. I'm 6'4 and about 300 pounds so I'm probably not their usual customer.

• Italia Mia

  Share

  Their chicken parmesan is probably my favorite in all of Tampa Bay. It's so good that I probably visited 2 or 3 dozen times before I finally tried their pizza, which is fantastic too. But stick the NY style. The Sicilian pizza wasn't so great.

• Tropicana Field

  Share

  I know it sounds crazy but seriously this Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich they served at Rays game could be the answer to the attendance problem.
• Red Mesa

  Share

  They usually serve a steak burrito for lunch that'll be your last meal of the day. Don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here though.

• Metro Diner

  Share

  OK, I said I'm not a chain restaurant fan. However, the cinnamon roll pancakes are epic.
