Coming this summer:
OH, CUORE MIA!
Ybor City is a living archive shaped by migration, labor, resistance, and reinvention. Artists are uniquely positioned to reflect on and reinterpret these histories.
Oh, Cuore Mia (“my heart”) is an exhibition exploring the past, present, and future of a historic district in constant transformation. This group exhibition is curated from an open call by Tempus Projects with guest juror Jenn Ryann Miller.
Soft opening will be held July 11 during our summer fundraiser.
ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM
In our continuing effort to foster and support the arts in the Tampa Bay area, we established an Artist Residency Program in 2016. This program allows for a collaborative exchange between the Tampa Bay arts community and visiting artists from across the country and beyond.
