Art Around Tampa
Public Art is woven into the fabric of Tampa’s streets, parks, cityscapes, and public spaces. You can find Public Art in parks and community centers. Learn more about Art Around Tampa.

The Big Picture Photographer Laureate Program
The Big Picture Photographer Laureate Program began in 2003. Each Year, the committee commissions an artist/photographer to explore, and photograph life and the crucial issues and events within the city of Tampa for one year.  The objectives of this project are to build an archive and resource for the citizens of Tampa; to enhance city facilities with images that are reflective of the life, and character of Tampa; and build the portable works collection of the City of Tampa, Art Programs. View the galleries of artists/photographers.

Lights on Tampa
Lights On Tampa is a public/private partnership, showcased downtown Tampa as a modern, innovative city where technology and new media art converge. This program is an innovative initiative that recognized the synergy between the arts and technology. Lights On Tampa has been recognized nationally by the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network. Plans are already underway for the next Lights On Tampa, January 2009, just three weeks before Tampa hosts the Super Bowl. Find out more about Lights on Tampa.
