USF, Innovation District vie for $160 million grant

Officials with the University of South Florida and St. Petersburg Innovation District hope to secure "transformational" funding to create a powerful economic engine by utilizing the region's coastal expertise.

Dr. Steve Murawski, director of the Center for Ocean Mapping and Innovative Technologies at the College of Marine Science on the St. Petersburg campus, and Alison Barlow, executive director of the Innovation District, are spearheading the process. They told the Catalyst that the area is uniquely suited to win the 10-year, $160 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.

Bon voyage, MIZE Gallery

The good news: Prolific St. Pete artist Chad Mize is getting loads of commission work, between his murals, his paintings and his custom designs. The bad news: He’s closing down the gallery that bears his name. He’s too busy to continue curating and hanging a new multi-artist show every month.

Friends, opening Friday at MIZE Gallery, will be the last curated show. December will bring the annual holiday retail extravaganza, Stuff & Things & Stuff.
