The Portals are a key educational and cultural component to the
Tampa Riverwalk.
Riverwalk Portals are pedestrian friendly, digital screens that will
be placed at fixed locations along the Riverwalk. These Portals will
function as a linear gallery of images and poetry and will be integrated with short
educational messages about the Environment, Well-Being, and Culture.
All content for the Riverwalk Portal is pushed through the lens of
the arts, culture, and history; in other words, artists or historic
photographs will serve as the foundation for all imagery on the
portal. For Lights On Tampa 2009, artist
Carlton Ward's digital photography was featured on the portal
prototype.
A companion to the Riverwalk Portal is the Portal website; an
internet access point—or portal—to educational content specific to
the Riverwalk, City of Tampa, Tampa Bay, and beyond. It is here that
more in-depth information, including links, drill-sown lesson plans,
general “Did You Know?” facts, and activities will be found.
