Creative Pinellas is here to support artists and arts organizations impacted by the autumn 2024 hurricanes. We are proud to launch the Hurricane Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to those who faced losses during this challenging time. The number of grants will depend on the ratio of eligible applications to available funds. Individual grants are for $500 and nonprofit grants are for $1000.
