Through Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, the umbrella arts organization Creative Pinellas was given $350,000 to award grants to nearly 30 artists and arts organizations, county-wide. The mission was clear: Create a monthlong, consolidated series of events and performances to demonstrate to visitors that Pinellas is a viable arts destination.

Although many of the events in Art Everywhere, beginning No. 1, were already on the calendar, the funds from VSPC and Creative Pinellas have been used in numerous cases to augment and expand them. And the series was continued until the 6th of December.  

In addition, buy one, get one free tickets are available at this link for the following November theater productions, on specific dates: The DaVinci Code (freeFall Theatre), Destroying David (the Off-Central), Regrets Only (Dead Canary Theatre at The Studio), A Bodega Princess Remembers La Fiesta de los Reyes Magos, 1998 (Story Keepers at First United Methodist Church, Pinellas Park); Meteor Shower (American Stage).
