Art is an important part of our cultural identity and economy in St. Pete. In October, the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, Downtown Partnership and City of St. Pete launched a new planning effort to create a Comprehensive Arts Strategy for our community. A Catalyst St. Pete 2.0 survey that month helped to inform initial efforts, concepts and recommendations. Since then, researchers have conducted focus groups, held virtual public meetings - the next one is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 4 - and put together initial ideas about ways to build on our strong foundation to support artists, strengthen our arts organizations and support community prosperity through arts and culture.
