The
purpose of the project was to commission an artist to photograph and
respond to life in the City of Tampa. The Photographer Laureate Program
is inspired by historic photographic projects including the Farm Workers
Administration, the National Endowment for the Arts, and regional
Photographic Archives. The program’s long-range vision is to build a
public collection comprised of images that are representative of the
life and times in Tampa, by regional, national and international
photographers.
Over the course of the multi-year project, an artist
will be commissioned to "add a volume" for one year. The
volume must be built upon a theme/topic selected by the
artist/photographer and approved by the committee. Over the course
of time, the city hopes to accumulate and display a full and varied
representation of the multiple and diverse perspectives of artists
on Tampa.
