Exciting update! 🎨

After more than five decades of producing the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts, we’re unveiling a new brand identity that reflects who we’ve become: a year-round nonprofit dedicated to advancing the visual arts throughout the Tampa Bay region.

While our look has evolved, our mission remains the same. We will continue to inspire creativity, champion artists, and make the visual arts more accessible through scholarships, public art initiatives, arts education, community partnerships, and, of course, our signature annual Festival.

This new identity reflects the work we’ve been doing beyond Festival weekend and our continued commitment to strengthening the arts in our community.

Unveiled this past spring, we were proud to support this project alongside Tampa's Downtown Partnership, PPK, Johnson, Newlon & DeCort, P.A., State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, and John and Judy Scheffel in memory of Harold and Joyce Scheffel.

A special thank you to everyone who joined us for our Community Paint Day and helped bring this mural to life. Your creativity and collaboration are now part of a piece that’s been recognized as one of the Bay’s best! 💙
