Creative Pinellas proudly congratulates the individual artist grant recipients.
Congratulations to our Pinellas Recovers Individual Artist grant recipients! Thirteen Pinellas County artists were selected after thorough review by a panel made up of artists, curators, and arts leaders to receive grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. The purpose of the grants, funded through a $500,000 grant Creative Pinellas received from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), is to both assist artists in recovering from the COVID-19 crisis, and to support them in the creation of projects that bring high quality arts experiences to diverse communities, including those who have often lacked access to all the benefits engagement with the arts has to offer.
Artists Mitzi Gordon, Steph Hargrove and Rose Cervantes, Dallas Jackson, Cecilia Lueza, Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse, Erica Sutherlin and Pamela Trow received $10,000 grants. Jon Didier, John Gascot, Jackie Kaufman and David Manson received $5,000 grants and Robyn Crosa received a $2,500 grant. Projects range from filmmaking, jazz concerts and murals, to arts experiences for the blind and public engagement addressing climate change.
