Creative Pinellas to go remote after collaborative arts organization loses $1.2 million in county funding
Final Exhibition in Largo gallery Arts Annual Eight will close January 4
All proceeds from the exhibition and the pop-up holiday shop go towards bolstering artists and the organization
The name of the show is Arts Annual Eight.
And it’s the final show in their Largo gallery space. Last September, Pinellas County commissioners voted to cut more than $1 million in funding for the collaborative arts organization’s 2026 fiscal budget. They’ve also lost their lease to their county-owned building.
Their plan is now to go remote.
“Our staff will all be working from home, and we are continuing to partner with arts organizations and cultural institutions throughout the area,” Margaret Murray, CEO of Creative Pinellas said.
The exhibition and holiday pop-up shop remain open through January 4. Staff will leave the building at the end of the month.
All proceeds from the exhibition pieces and the pop-up shop are going to prop up artists and the organization.
