We are imaging a new future for Creative Pinellas and our cultural community — and we need your support to make that happen. Keep reading to learn the five actions you can take today to help us raise the critical funds we need to keep Creative Pinellas thriving.
1. Become a sponsor for our fundraiser, Arts Annual 8 on Nov. 21.
For eight years, Arts Annual has been the time and place where we gather to celebrate the extraordinary creativity of Pinellas County. This year — as we move from now to next — please support Arts Annual as we build a new future. With your sponsorship, you can help sustain Creative Pinellas and our work to support artists directly. Levels range from $1,000 to $25,000, with a variety of public recognition and sponsor benefits.
2. Purchase tickets to attend Arts Annual 8.
Your ticket to Arts Annual will directly help shape the future of Creative Pinellas. During the fundraiser, you will enjoy an exclusive public first look at new works from some of Pinellas County’s talented artists as part of the Arts Annual exhibition. Guests will enjoy an intimate gallery experience, food, music, local artwork for sale, and the opportunity to engage directly with the artists shaping the cultural landscape of Pinellas County and beyond.
3. Give an immediate gift, or consider Creative Pinellas in your end-of-year giving plan.
Make a general donation to Creative Pinellas at any time for as little as $10, or include Creative Pinellas as one of the nonprofits you support before the end of the year. A gift to Creative Pinellas is a gift to your community — an act of generosity that will keep our organization thriving and support the arts in our county.
4. Shop the store and Gallery at Creative Pinellas.
Inside our Gallery and store, we are proud to sell unique and beautiful art and gifts from painters, ceramicists, jewelry makers, photographers, and more all across the Tampa Bay region. Items in our store are available for purchase onsite, and art for sale in the gallery can be purchased online or in person.
Whether shopping for yourself or picking out a gift for a special occasion or the holidays, there are a variety of works for every taste and price point in our Gallery and at our store. And as you travel, please visit Sightline Gallery at St. Pete-Clearwater Airport to see our new In Flying Colors exhibition, with works for sale from David Williams and Rebecca Zweibel. You can also purchase the new “Better Together” yard sign to show your support of the arts in Tampa Bay. Proceeds from all art sales benefit the artists and Creative Pinellas.
5. Host a Creative Pinellas fundraiser at your home, gallery, or place of business.
Would you like to give back to Creative Pinellas? We’re looking for supporters and artists who are willing to host a small fundraiser in their home, gallery, or business. We’ll do the asking for you — just gather a group of your friends whom you think might want to learn more about Creative Pinellas and we’ll be there to help! Please contact CEO Margaret Murray at margaret.murray@creativepinellas.org to make arrangements.
