PALM HARBOR — Creative Pinellas will host a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday, Oct. 4, from 9 to 9:45 a.m., for the 2023 ARTWorks Signal Box Project.
The project features artists Kim Michelle Coakley, Patricia Kluwe Derderian “PatiKD,” Amy Ilić-Volpe, Richard Logan, Clifton Moorhead, Heather Rippert, Diane V Radel, Heidi Stavinga, and Pamela Trow. This event will celebrate the completion of nine wrapped signal boxes in Pinellas County. The ribbon-cutting will take place at the location of the signal box completed by artist Pamela Joy Trow, located at Sandy Point and East Lake Road, just outside of John Chestnut Park in Palm Harbor. Parking will be available behind the Walgreens at 2495 Sandy Point Road or at the John Chestnut Sr. Park.
“We always value our partnership with Pinellas County Public Works, Department of Transportation,” said Creative Pinellas CEO Barbara St. Clair. “We’ve worked with them for the last four years to create murals on County rights-of-way, including four murals on the Pinellas Trail, and now expanded our program with these signal boxes. It’s so important to bring more public art to our community and further enhance the Arts Coast experience in Pinellas County.”
The Signal Box Project is a partnership between Creative Pinellas and Pinellas Public Works/Transportation and is part of the on-going graffiti abatement project that already includes murals along the Pinellas Trail, at Boot Ranch, West Bay and more.
“This was my debut project and it was truly remarkable,” said Creative Pinellas Arts Project manager Cory Robinson. “I had the privilege of connecting with incredible artists from various fields. The project served as a canvas for artists of all mediums, showcasing the abundant talent that resides along the Arts Coast.”
