FAIRGROUNDS ST. PETE
An Artistic Adventure By Margaret Word Burnside and Aaron R. Fodiman
A mural of an underwater scene sets the tone for this unusual artistic endeavor.
Philanthropic power couple Penny and Jeff Vinik are among Tampa Bay’s most innovative
thinkers and visionaries. Due to their generosity and love of the arts, they have made
a substantial difference to our community on a regular basis. The newly opened
Fairgrounds St. Pete in the Warehouse Arts District of St. Petersburg is an example
of their funding of an interactive concept that celebrates weird, wacky, wonderful Florida.
