MUSE Awards
Our City's Celebration of the Arts!
Join us as we party with our artistic community
on Friday, February 28, 2020 at 7 pm
Join us for a night of provocative musings, muses, interactive artful exhibits and live art performances. MUSE will celebrate artistic inspiration during our annual benefit for the arts recognizing the breadth and beauty of art and culture in our City of the Arts.
We’ll pay tribute to those that continue to inspire and guide St. Petersburg to its standing as an international arts destination.
No long speeches or rubber chicken dinner here – instead you’ll enjoy gourmet bites, crafted cocktails and decadent dessert bars. And, of course, the annual recognition of artists and those who support the arts in our community.
For six years MUSE has been the arts party of the season, and this year will again feature surprises that will only be experienced once.
Guests will also enjoy the Museum’s exhibit “The Art of the Stage, Picasso to Hockney.” The exhibition features over 100 studies for scene, costume, curtain, and program designs, as well as maquettes and costumes by noted artists from the nineteenth century to the present day. MUSE will be designed to complement the exhibition.
We Welcome Sponsors!
