The Photographer Laureate program is modeled after
the Farm Security Administration’s Photography Program during the Great
Depression of the 1930's and World War II; and the National Endowment
for the Art’s Photography Surveys of the 1970's, '80's and '90's; and
with the awareness of the regionally well-known Burgert Brother's
photography collections. Each
year, since 2003, the City of Tampa’s Public Art Program has
commissioned an artist to photograph a portion or perspective of the
City of Tampa and/or its citizens and visitors at work, or at play, with
an emphasis on what it means to be in Tampa at this particular time in
history. The result of this juried process is producing a public
collection and archive that is representative of the life and times in
Tampa by regional, national, and international photographers.
