Community celebrates Foodie Labs opening in St. Pete

While ceremonial ribbon-cutting events are typically low-key affairs reserved for civic and business leaders, over 150 people registered to formally welcome Foodie Labs to St. Petersburg’s Warehouse Arts District Thursday.

The innovative facility intersects food and art by providing a creative showcase for culinary entrepreneurs. Foodie Labs, located at 515 22nd St. S. on the ArtsXChange campus, offers six ghost kitchens, two bake stations, a professional demonstration kitchen, two shared kitchens and event space.

Arts Alive! podcast: Margaret Murray, Creative Pinellas

Margaret Murray, the newly-appointed CEO of Creative Pinellas, has a very clear picture of the importance of both visual and performing arts in our community. Art, she says, “plays a role in mental health, it plays a role in economic development, it plays a role in enticing tourists to stay and extend their visits here.

“The arts are at the middle of the Venn diagram for a lot of things that are great about Pinellas County.”
