Attend the Pinellas County Commission Budget Meeting on 09/04/25 at 333 Chesnut St., Clearwater

The Pinellas County Commission will hold a crucial Budget Meeting on September 4, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM at 333 Chesnut St., Clearwater. This meeting comes at a critical time as the commission is considering a proposal to eliminate funding for Creative Pinellas, the local arts agency responsible for fostering artistic growth and economic development in the community. Losing such vital support could have devastating effects on the region’s cultural landscape and the artists who contribute to it. Community members are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting to make their voices heard regarding the importance of sustaining arts funding. Those who wish to speak can register as speakers at the meeting, while those unable to attend in person can still participate by calling the Commission Comment Line at 727-464-4400 before September 3, to leave a comment lasting up to three minutes. This engagement is critical to ensure Creative Pinellas continues its invaluable work supporting artists and enriching the community. Your participation in this meeting is vital to preserving the artistic fabric of Pinellas County.
