Creative Pinellas AMPED: Turn Up for the Arts Fundraiser Party

Creative Pinellas announces their new exhibition and fundraiser, AMPED: Turn Up for the Arts, happening at the FloridaRAMA Impact Gallery in St. Petersburg.

AMPED is an exhibition and fundraiser celebrating both Creative Pinellas and our cultural community. Please join us to help us continue funding the work of artists, showcasing exhibitions and art events, and amplifying the work of our creative community.

The AMPED exhibition is a group show featuring artists from Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. It will be on view at the FloridaRAMA Impact Gallery Sept. 5-Nov. 1, 2026.

Join us on Sept. 5 for the AMPED: Turn Up for the Arts opening night fundraiser. We’ll kick off the exhibition with a ticketed party that will be one for the books!

During AMPED: Turn Up for the Arts on Sept. 5, Austen van der Bleek will DJ and bring the dance floor energy to the FloridaRama Gallery; Liz Glushko will deliver a live-looping electric cello performance where classical technique meets rock, pop, and immersive sound; and soprano Jodi Karem will take the stage with the stirring “Júrame.”

Over the exhibition’s run, they’ll have Creative Conversations with a panel of artists during Second Saturday ArtWalk on Sept. 12 and Oct. 10.

Start planning your most creative attire now, because they’re having the AMPED Costume Party on Halloween Night, Saturday, Oct. 31, from 6-10 p.m. Come dressed as your favorite album cover, music video or artist and enter the costume contest at this ticketed event.
