— 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.
"A St. Petersburg where every artist has a platform, every community member has access to transformative cultural experiences, and the creative economy is recognized as essential civic infrastructure."
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 501(c)(3) nonprofit — all donations are tax-deductible.
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.
