Creative Pinellas is urging local artists to submit their entries for a vibrant mural and artistic signal box projects by January 30, 2026.

The organization emphasized that it continues to function as the Local Arts Agency for Pinellas County and strives to provide funding and opportunities for artists, albeit on a smaller scale. Artists interested in these public art projects should submit their proposals no later than noon on January 30, with the potential for their work to contribute to the region’s cultural fabric. This initiative exemplifies Creative Pinellas’s dedication to reimagining community art spaces and enhancing the artistic spirit in the area as it navigates its evolution.
