"Catalyst Sessions" w/ Bill DeYoung 4-23-20; Liz Dimmitt

Making things happen, that’s Liz Dimmitt’s wheelhouse. The Dunedin native, who happens to have a Master’s in Visual Arts Administration from New York University, is what’s known as a “cultural strategist” – working with companies, cities, brands and individuals to create unique cultural programming, events and experiences.

St. Petersburg, Dimmitt said on Wednesday’s edition of The Catalyst Sessions, has an obvious cultural strategy.

“Being an arts city, with so many museums, and supporting artists, is a strategy that has really helped St. Petersburg define itself,” she explained. “St. Petersburg has a cultural strategy, and you can really see that paying off on a rich cultural scene.”

Dimmitt is the founder and CEO of Fairgrounds, which will – when it’s ready – take up 12,000 feet of The Factory, a 6-acre compound currently under renovation in the Warehouse Arts District.
