Tampa Museum of Art

Hi Tampa fans, did you ever notice late at night the building across from The University of Tampa lit up with color? Did you ever wonder what is there?

That would be the Tampa Museum of Art, located in downtown Tampa on the Hillsborough River.

The lights illuminating the building is actually a 300 foot long art piece named Sky (Tampa) by an artist named Villareal.

I went there once last year for a display on a photojournalist, but I could tell you that their exhibits are very well put together.

On view at the museum now are the Fragile Waters exhibit, consisting of 119 black and white photographs and the Arp, Calder, and Miro collection.

The museum also puts on various events, such as five by five where 5x5” artwork is made and donated to the museum by local and international artists. The art is signed by each artist and is sold for $25 to raise money for art programs.
