Cultural Affairs Division

Mission: to facilitate, stimulate, and enhance the cultural life in Clearwater for residents and visitors.

Arts and Culture bring many benefits to a community including increasing a city's livability, stimulating economic development and revitalization, strengthening education, and creating an understanding of diverse populations.

These are some of the reasons that the Cultural Affairs Division was created in 2003, as a result of a cultural planning process.

The Cultural Arts Division seeks to build partnerships with other government agencies, private businesses and organizations so that arts and culture can be incorporated in the lives of all our residents and visitors.

January 27, 2012 - The Hoffman Institute at Ruth Eckerd Hall hosted a dedication of a new and exciting work by artist Kevin Reese, and students of Skycrest Elementary.

Friends of the PASSport program, Skycrest Elementary and the community at large gathered in front of the school for a moving and inspiring portrait of arts-infused education in action.

This piece is the culmination of a week-long residency by Mr. Reese at Skycrest, in which students will create an permanent, moving sculpture that embodies the ideas of empowered learning in and through the arts.

For more examples of Mr. Reese's works across the nation, please check out his website at www.schoolsculptures.com.
