The non-profit arts organization Creative Pinellas is back with another year of its professional artist grant, which gives up to 10 artists $5,000 of unrestricted money to create, experiment, and inspire with.
Art of all genres are eligible for this grant—including literature, interdisciplinary, media arts, music composition or performance, theatre and visual arts. An additional $5,000 Artist Laureate grant may be presented to an applicant who Creative Pinellas chooses to be a collaborator and model partner, to help support the nonprofit’s mission and communal goals.
The application window runs from now until February 24, and the selected artists will have access to the funds at the end of March or beginning of April.
The professional artist grant from Creative Pinellas is specifically designed to support and sustain the county’s creative community, and to enhance Tampa Bay as an arts and cultural destination. Selected grantees also receive opportunities to have their creative processes documented and showcased through blogs on Creative Pinellas’ website.
