Arts Annual 8 Fundraiser: From Now to Next

***IMPORTANT NOTE: Online ticket purchases have closed. To attend, please come to The Gallery at Creative Pinellas and purchase tickets at the door. Thanks!***

Creative Pinellas is proud to launch Arts Annual 8, our signature exhibition and fundraiser that celebrates the extraordinary creativity of our community.

For eight years, Arts Annual has been the place where artists, collectors, and community members gather to celebrate the power of the arts in Pinellas County. This year, more than ever, we need your support to ensure Creative Pinellas continues to thrive – and build a sustainable future – as your Local Arts Agency.

Arts Annual 8 is your chance to help secure the future of Creative Pinellas, and keep the arts thriving in our community.

Looking Ahead

As we step into this next chapter, we invite you to build a new Creative Pinellas with us. We are here to stay—advocating for artists, building connections across our county, and ensuring the arts remain at the heart of our community. Together, we can create a wonderful and sustainable future for all.

Your ticket:

• Sustains Creative Pinellas
  For over a decade, Creative Pinellas has nurtured artists, connected residents and visitors to cultural experiences, and strengthened the economic impact of the arts in our county. Your support ensures we remain a vibrant hub for creativity and innovation.
• Builds the Future
  Arts Annual 8 is more than an exhibition and party—it’s an investment in the future of Creative Pinellas. Together, we will reshape this organization: one that continues to amplify artists’ voices, champion cultural tourism, and integrate the arts into the very fabric of our community.
• Supports Artists Directly
  Every artwork sold supports not only the artist but also sustains the cultural ecosystem. By purchasing art, you’re investing directly in the livelihoods of those who make our community a more beautiful, meaningful, and connected place.
