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.
