Honoring Gina Driscoll as the Arts Advocate of the Year!
Hats Off to the Arts!
The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance’s fourth annual Garden Party took place on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at the beautiful Vinoy Resort & Golf Club. This signature event brought together 200 community and business leaders to honor our Arts Advocate of the Year, Gina Driscoll, and celebrate the vibrant arts scene shaping our city’s future.
Guests enjoyed an afternoon of art and elegance, featuring live performances, a gourmet brunch, and a spirited hat contest, where participants competed for top honors in the categories of Most Beautiful, Most Creative, and Most Humorous. Attendees also supported the arts through a live auction and chance drawing, with proceeds directly funding SPAA’s initiatives in arts education, economic development, and community wellbeing.
We were proud to recognize Gina Driscoll among our distinguished honorees, joining the ranks of Florida’s Duke Energy President Melissa Seixas, Tampa Bay Rays and Rowdies President Brian Auld, and Bryan and Shanna Glazer, founders of the Glazer Children’s Museum and owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this incredible event. We look forward to celebrating with you again next year!
