In September, the Black Art Gala Foundation partnered with Tampa Bay muralist, Cam Parker and 7TH + Grove to host Tampa’s first “Tampa Bay’s Art Day!” The community art class is an annual program free to the public. Parker led the fun, interactive painting class teaching fundamental art techniques. Participants received paint, brushes and supplies to paint along.

“Tampa Bay’s Art Day” is an Art By Community (ABC) Initiative by the BAG to bring more art and art programs to Tampa Bay. TBAD is made possible by BLICK Art Material (www.DickBLick.com), Diageo Brands, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka (TitosVodka.com).

“Tampa Bay’s Art Day” 2026 is scheduled for Fall 2026. More information will be available in Summer 2026.
