The city of Pinellas Park has taken the next step in making its Creative District a haven for the arts community after city council voted to sell a parcel in the district to a local artist. Last month, the city, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency, voted to sell its property at 5705 Park Blvd. to Derek Donnelly, a local artist who has been a tenant at the location for six years with Donnelly COVE, a gallery and studio space in a shipping container structure. City Manager Bart Diebold said the 5600 block — aka the Pinellas Park Creative District — has formerly underutilized properties that the city began intentionally utilizing for the arts community.
