About the Arts Alliance

The Tampa Arts Alliance is a catalyst and convener of arts advocates, dedicated to making Tampa a city known for excellence in the arts.

Without the arts we cannot tell our story. Tampa is not just a city trying to be like somewhere else. We want to raise up the profile of our arts and culture to show off what makes Tampa unique. There is a lot to love here.

Vision

Our vision is for Tampa to be internationally recognized as a vibrant and dynamic city for the arts. 

Mission

Tampa Arts Alliance was founded to advance the arts in Tampa by providing foundational support to the arts ecosystem. We focus on identifying community stakeholders, encouraging the development of spaces for artists to live, work and display, fostering commerce in the arts industry, and promoting Tampa as a vibrant city of the arts.
