MUSE Awards - St Petersburg Arts Alliance

Thank you for your
generous support for MUSE 2019!

See you at MUSE 2020

Our annual MUSE celebration of the arts is an unforgettable night for artists, arts patrons and creative business owners. Live music and live artwork, dancing, cheer and camaraderie make for a beautiful celebration as we honor special artists and arts supporters who, through their creative work, are St. Petersburg’s Muses.

We come together to revel in the visual, performing and literary arts at the elegant Museum of Fine Arts, on St. Pete’s scenic waterfront.

Join us as we party with our artistic community
on Friday, February 8 at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the MUSE Awards benefit artists, arts businesses, and arts and cultural organizations in our city, through the programs and services provided by the Arts Alliance.
