Arts Annual 2021 Weekend

On Saturday and Sunday, November 13^th and 14^th, Creative Pinellas will host our Arts Annual Weekend, virtual festival, and fundraiser featuring leading Pinellas County artists and performers. Historically an evening gala, Creative Pinellas is pivoting in 2021 to an outdoor affair in our courtyard with the addition of dance, music, poetry, food trucks, live painters, and a gallery exhibition with over 100 art pieces on display and available for sale.

The Arts Annual group exhibition will return to the Gallery at Creative Pinellas November 11^th through December 19^th, 2021. The exhibition will feature the artwork of over 30 artists, from innovative up-and-coming creators to internationally recognized artists. From the beginning, Creative Pinellas has invited former Professional and Emerging Artist Grantees to exhibit their work or perform live. As part of the 2021 Arts Annual events, the exhibit will also be accessible to the public remotely, in an online gallery. The virtual gallery is an immersive experience, allowing visitors to walk through a virtual space from their cell phone, tablet, or desktop computer. The artwork will be available for purchase both in the gallery at Creative Pinellas and online.

Featured performers and live artists include Helen French, EMIT Trio, Ricardo Delgado, Linda Costa, Alex Jones, Jon Ditty, Victoria Jorgensen, Jujmo, Tenea D. Johnson, the Ukulele Society, Amy Collins, Tom Sivak, and Sheila Cowley.

Tickets for Arts Annual Weekend are available at Artsannual.org for $10 (single event) and $25 (weekend pass) per person. Ticket purchase includes admission to the Arts Annual Weekend events at its physical location in the courtyard at the Gallery. Creative Pinellas is accepting donations of any amount.
