Lemonade Arts Foundation cultivates creative community by building platforms, programming, and infrastructure that sustain independent artists and open culture to all.
A recurring curated arts and makers market providing 20–30 independent vendors with affordable booth space, public foot traffic, and a cultural context that elevates their work. Free to the public.
Site-specific gallery programming featuring work across painting, sculpture, installation, digital media, and performance — designed to create genuine sales opportunities for exhibiting artists.
Large-scale experiential art that creates transformative public encounters with contemporary art — bridging fine art practice and accessibility for audiences beyond traditional gallery formats.
Workshops, mentorship, and resource-sharing initiatives supporting artists at all career stages with the business, technical, and creative knowledge needed to sustain professional practice.
Thriving creative communities do not happen by accident — they require sustained infrastructure, intentional programming, and organizational commitment to the artists who give culture its vitality.
— Lemonade Arts Foundation Mission
Lemonade Arts Foundation exists at the intersection of art, community, and civic life. We operate recurring public markets, gallery programming, immersive installation experiences, and artist development initiatives serving the full spectrum of creative practitioners.
Our long-term vision is a permanent cultural institution in downtown St. Petersburg — a museum and creative center that honors the city's artistic legacy and opens it to the world.
We're building the St. Petersburg we want to live in — a city where artists can afford to stay, where neighbors run into culture they didn't go looking for, and where the people who make this place interesting aren't doing it alone.
Your contribution directly funds artist stipends, free public programming, and the long-term infrastructure St. Petersburg's creative community deserves. Lemonade Arts Foundation is a Florida nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) status in progress — once granted, contributions will be tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Applications are open for vendors, exhibitors, and workshop facilitators. We're building something real — and we want you in it.
Whether you're an artist looking to participate, a sponsor interested in partnership, a press inquiry, or a community member who wants to get involved — we want to hear from you.
