Learning from that\, we wanted to give our community a further opportunity to share and remember those they loved and lost. \nDuring our discussions\, we were reminded that a dear friend of ours\, artist\, and arts administrator Suzanne Ruley\, had left behind a tremendous amount of creative work that her husband Matt discovered after she passed away from Covid. We recognized that many people were having similar experiences\, and we felt it would be healing for them to join with us to share their discoveries in an exhibit also featuring Suzanne’s work. \nEXHIBITION SPONSORS \nSUNCOAST HOSPICE FOUNDATION a member of Empath Health \nVisit St. Pete/Clearwater \nPinellas County\, FL \nThe State of Florida and Division of Cultural Affairs \nCOMMUNITY PARTNERS \nEmpath Health \nCentral Pinellas Chamber of Commerce \nGreater Seminole Area Chamber of Commerce \nSt. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce \nSafety Harbor Chamber of Commerce \n  URL:https://creativepinellas.org/event/the-things-they-left-behind-grief-discovery-and-remembrance/ LOCATION:The Gallery at Creative Pinellas archive\, 12211 Walsingham Road\, Largo\, FL\, 33778\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://creativepinellas.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/THE-THINGS-THEY-LEFT-BEHIND-1920x1080-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220505T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220505T200000 DTSTAMP:20260407T045326 CREATED:20220418T163858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220503T215237Z UID:13296-1651777200-1651780800@creativepinellas.org SUMMARY:2022 Emerging Artist Exhibition Conversation DESCRIPTION:Join Us on FACEBOOK LIVE! facebook.com/CreativePinellas\nThese ten talented Pinellas County artists were awarded Emerging Artist Grants by Creative Pinellas and are currently exhibiting at the Gallery at Creative Pinellas.
