Arts Catalyst Grant Update
At this time, our partner arts organizations and community centers are continuing to register campers for upcoming 2020 summer camps and Creative Pinellas is accepting applications for grants. We remain optimistic that things people are doing to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus will allow families to be able to resume activities this summer. As we have witnessed in the last couple weeks however, things are changing rapidly, and the future is uncertain. Please remember that Arts Catalyst grants are only being given for onsite arts related summer camp sessions at eligible Pinellas County organizations and if they are not able to offer camp sessions the grants will not be available. If you or your child meet eligibility requirements, we encourage you to apply for a grant. If the status of the program changes, we will alert you with cancellations or updated information.
Your child may be eligible for an Arts Catalyst Grant to go to a Summer Camp session at a Pinellas County non-profit organization!
Your child may be eligible if they are a Pinellas County resident between the ages of 5-18 whose answer is "Yes, I" to any of the items on this list:
Yes, I...
- Receive a free or reduced-cost school lunch
- Attend a school that is either "transitional" or "transformational" according to the Pinellas County Board of Education

- Live in a foster or group home
- Am in the custody of the Department of Children and Families
- Receive a financial hardship tuition or scholarship
