The Black Art Gala Foundation is honored to announce our first collaboration with Tampa Bay Area muralist, Cam Parker.

Parker has resided in Tampa, FL for 16 years, becoming a standard in the Tampa Bay art scene. He’s earned notoriety via his murals and couture fashion creations for superstars including Lady Gaga. His bold and vibrant aesthetic blends pop culture and human rights issues, bringing awareness to Tampa Bay art culture and wider current events.

“I would like to be thought of as a visionary versus just a visual artist. I feel limitless in the way that I create. I create from a very pure place. I make art for the sake of loving Art. So, whether I am on a 6-foot ladder working on a mural for Beyonce, or if I am painting a canvas for your grandmother’s living room…I create with the same level of love. The love of turning something that was once just an idea into a tangible, beautiful thing to be enjoyed by the world” says Parker.

From August through September, journey into the inspiration and influence of Parker’s art. The collaboration culminates in his community art class where he dives into the philosophy behind his art in September.

This collaboration is made possible by BLICK Art Materials.
