St. Petersburg Arts Alliance Honors
LISA and PERRY EVERETT
Muse Patrons of the Arts Award
MUSE will celebrate artistic inspiration on Friday, February 8, 2019 at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg at 7:00 p.m. The sixth annual benefit for the arts will recognize the breadth and beauty of art and culture in our City of the Arts, and pay tribute to those that continue to inspire and guide St. Petersburg to its standing as an international arts destination. Proceeds will benefit artists, arts education, and arts & cultural organizations through our Arts Alliance programs and services.
Lisa and Perry Everett didn’t set out to collect art. They simply wanted to decorate their home with original art by local artists. Lisa, a retired pharmacist, and Perry, a pediatrician, had no formal training in art, but found as they attended outdoor shows, benefit auctions and performances that the art world was warm and welcoming. Artists became friends and, in some cases, adopted family, and they filled their home with original works in all media. While they believe in supporting local arts institutions, they found that the biggest impact came from buying work from artists. They still enjoy the thrill of finding a new artist or a special work – now they just need a bigger house.
