Life After SHINE: The Real Business of Public Art with Jenée Priebe
What does a public art ninja do after stepping down from leading one of the region's biggest mural festivals? In this episode of the Tampa Bay Arts Passport Podcast, host Avery Anderson sits down with JenĂ©e, founder of No Good Deed Arts and former Executive Director of the SHINE Mural Festival. JenĂ©e gets real about the crucial need for life boundaries, the transition to running her own creative project management practice, and why we need to permanently retire the idea of paying artists in "exposure." She also pulls back the curtain on the complex, gritty logistics behind public murals and reveals her brilliant new vision to transform St. Pete's portion of the Pinellas Trail into an elevated, world-class fine art corridor. Inside the Episode: Reclaiming the Calendar: JenĂ©e shares what itâs like to transition away from the intense cycle of SHINE to focus on rest, family, and intentional consulting work. New Regional Visuals: A look into her current projects, including bringing murals to Orange County/Orlando, wrapping up a library collection for USF with artist Anthony Freeze, and maintaining Tampaâs permanent art collection.

Serving as the "Artist Interpreter": Why public artists are highly trained, skilled professionals who deserve equitable compensation, and how JenĂ©e bridges the gap between property owners and creators. The Future of the Pinellas Trail: JenĂ©e details her upcoming presentation to the Florida Greenways and Trails committee to turn our rail-to-trail path into a vibrant, accessible art destination inspired by NYCâs High Line.
