The Martinis + Matisse Art Lottery, an annual event benefiting the Clearwater Free Clinic, will take place on January 23, 2027 on the beautiful FrankCrum campus. More than 120 artists will have the unique opportunity to connect with an audience of over 850 art-loving patrons while supporting the Clearwater Free Clinic's mission. Access to quality care continues to be a critical community challenge and the contribution of your art can positively impact the health of uninsured families.

The Queen of Hearts Ball is one of St. Petersburg's premier charitable events and a beloved tradition celebrating philanthropy, community, and service. This elegant Black Tie Formal gala features a cocktail reception, exquisite dining, live music, dancing, exciting live and silent auctions, and a distinguished program honoring this year's charitable beneficiaries and Pinellas County's most outstanding women volunteers. The Queen's Court Inc. is an all-volunteer organization, and the Queen of Hearts Ball is its sole annual fundraiser. Because every aspect of the event is planned and executed by dedicated volunteers, 100% of all net proceeds directly benefit this year's charitable recipients—Girls Inc. of Pinellas and Florida Elks for Autism.
