FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THE TMA IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THE FOUNDATION BOARD OVERSEES AND MANAGES THE SECURITIES OF THE MUSEUM'S ENDOWMENT PORTFOLIO AND, THROUGH COMMITTEE ACTION, MANAGES THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS (INVESTMENT COMMITTEE), BEQUEST AND TRUST SOLICITATION AND PROGRAM OVERSIGHT (NEW CENTURY LEGACY SOCIETY COMMITTEE), AND LARGE GIFTS AND GRANTS FOR THE ENDOWMENT AND FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH (CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE). THE NEW CENTURY LEGACY SOCIETY (NCLS) ESTABLISHED AND PROMOTES A LEGACY PROGRAM FOR THE MUSEUM. THIS PROGRAM BRINGS TOGETHER THOSE WHO HAVE PLEDGED LEGACY GIFTS AND THOSE PLANNING TO LEAVE A BEQUEST TO THE TMA VIA THE FOUNDATION. TO SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS, MARKETING MATERIALS EXPLAINING HOW FOUNDATION FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED TO THE MUSEUM WERE UPDATED IN 2024. THESE FUNDS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MUSEUM PROGRAMS, ALONG WITH RECOGNITION AND WELCOMING MESSAGES FOR THE TMA LEGACY PROGRAMS IN 2025. THAT YEAR, THE AIM TO GROW THE LEGACY MEMBERSHIP SUCCEEDED, WITH AN INCREASE OF 14 NEW LEGACY GIFTS SINCE 2024, RAISING THE TOTAL FROM 46 TO 60 MEMBER FAMILIES. THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OVERSEES THE INVESTMENTS AND DISTRIBUTION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THREE FUNDS: "FUND A," WHICH, ASIDE FROM THREE SMALL DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS, HAS ITS PRINCIPAL PROTECTED BY INTERNAL POLICY. IT ALLOWS FOR AN ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION NOT EXCEEDING 5% OF A FIVE-YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE, DIRECTED TO TMA, INC., FOR GENERAL OPERATIONS AND PROGRAM SUPPORT. THE RICHARD E. PERRY CULTURAL ENDOWMENT FUND'S PRINCIPAL AND INCOME ARE DESIGNATED TO SUPPORT PROGRAMMING AND ADMINISTRATION RELATED TO THE MUSEUM'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN ART. THIS FUND ALSO DESIGNATED THE CURATOR OF GREEK AND ROMAN ART AS THE RICHARD E. PERRY CURATOR. THE THIRD FUND, MANAGED UNDER AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART, INC., IS THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS CULTURAL ENDOWMENT FUND. IT CONTAINS DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS, INCLUDING A $360,000 PRINCIPAL FROM THE PERRY FUND MATCHED BY A $240,000 STATE OF FLORIDA CULTURAL ARTS ENDOWMENT. SINCE 2014, THE COMBINED ENDOWMENT PORTFOLIO HAS QUADRUPLED IN VALUE AND CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S EXPANDING OPERATIONS. THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE LAUNCHED A FUNDRAISING PROGRAM IN 2019 THAT CONTINUED THROUGH 2025 TO FUND THE REALLOCATION AND REDESIGN OF BACK-OF-THE-HOUSE GROSS SQUARE FEET FOR PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PROGRAM SPACE WITH THE INTENTION OF REALIGNING NET SQUARE FEET OF EXISTING SPACE FOR EXHIBITIONS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM ACTIVITIES. WORKING IN TANDEM WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE TMA BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE $15,000,000 REALLOCATION OF SPACE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS, AND RENOVATION COMMENCED IN JUNE OF 2021 AND CONTINUED INTO 2024. WHILE THE EDUCATION CENTER AND SIX GALLERIES WERE COMPLETED IN 2023, ONE FINAL ASPECT OF THE RENOVATION PROJECT RELATED TO THE GLASS CURTAIN WALL CONTINUED INTO 2024 AND WAS COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 31, 2024. IN JUNE OF 2025, BECK CONSTRUCTION WAS HIRED TO WORK WITH ARCHITECTS WEISS/MANFREDI TO BEGIN EXPENSING OUT THE EXPANSION PROJECT GIVEN A FIRST ROUND OF VALUE-ENGINEERED COMPONENTS WERE INTEGRATED INTO THE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR A 51,000-SQUARE-FOOT EXPANSION WHILE THE RENOVATION DETAILS WERE COMPLETED. IN ADDITION, IN 2025, AND NOTED IN 2023, THROUGH REIMBURSEMENT TO THE TMA, INC., THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE DECIDED TO FUND A FULL-TIME CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR, CAMPAIGN MANAGER, AND PROVIDE PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE CAMPAIGN EFFORTS MANAGED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MARKETING TEAM AND ACCOUNTING TEAM. IN ADDITION, FUNDS RAISED BY THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUE TO DIRECTLY FUND CAMPAIGN AND MARKETING CONSULTANTS AND IN 2024, THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED AN RFP FOR A REBRANDING AGENCY TO RECONSIDER THE MUSEUM IN TERMS OF ITS RENOVATION AND EXPANSION AS PART OF THE CAMPAIGN. THAT FIRM, YAMAMOTO, WAS HIRED BY THE FOUNDATION WITH CAMPAIGN FUNDS IN PREPARATION FOR A NEW BRAND TO COINCIDE WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE EXPANSION. THAT EFFORT CONTINUES THROUGH 2026. ONE WILL NOTE THAT WITH THE FULL COMPLETION OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE RENOVATION, THE FULL HARD AND SOFT COST EXPENSES OF THE RENOVATION CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS WERE TRANSFERRED FROM THE TMA FOUNDATION, THE CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING ARM OF THE MUSEUM, TO THE TMA, INC., THE OPERATIONS AND LEASEHOLD CORPORATION FOR THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS. THE RELEASE OF THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES OF THOSE OPERATIONS IS REFLECTED IN THE 2024 990. AS THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR EXPANSION, ONE WILL NOTE THAT THE CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS CONTINUES TO GROW. THE COMMENCEMENT AND GROUNDBREAKING ON THE EXPANSION SITE REDEVELOPMENT SCHEDULED FOR THE FALL OF 2025 BEGAN WITH THE REDESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TWO DOG PARKS AT CURTIS HIXON PARK, TO REPLACE THE ONE DOG PARK WEST OF THE MUSEUM WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR DEMOLITION IN 2026. THE NEW DOG PARK WAS COMPLETED WITH A GROUNDBREAKING AND RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY IN EARLY FEBRUARY OF 2026. IN ADDITION, THE ARCHITECTS WEISS/MANFREDI WERE HIRED TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS TO REFLECT THE EXPANSION WITHOUT THE FOURTH FLOOR, BUT WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADD THE FOURTH FLOOR AT A LATER DATE SHOULD THE MUSEUM WISH TO BREAK GROUND AND LAUNCH THE 51,000-SQUARE-FOOT EXPANSION OF THE MUSEUM AT THE COMPLETION OF THE 86,000-SQUARE-FOOT SITE REDEVELOPMENT. ALTHOUGH THE FOUNDATION WAS A FLEDGLING ORGANIZATION, ONLY 27 YEARS OLD IN 2025 (HAVING BEEN INCORPORATED IN 1998), COMPARED WITH THE 105-YEAR-OLD TMA, ITS 2025 DISTRIBUTIONS HELPED SUPPORT ALL MUSEUM OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING AS SCHEDULED. THE FOLLOWING IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE 2025 ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED IN PART BY THE FOUNDATION. AT THE END OF 2025, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S PERMANENT COLLECTION COMPRISED OVER 8,000 OBJECTS, 284 OF WHICH WERE RECEIVED IN THIS CALENDAR YEAR. THE MUSEUM COLLECTS CLASSICAL ANTIQUITIES (1,061 OBJECTS), 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRINTS EMPHASIZING WORKS THAT RELATE TO THE CLASSICAL COLLECTION (APPROXIMATELY 1,300 OBJECTS), MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART IN A VARIETY OF MEDIA (OVER 7,000 OBJECTS), WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PHOTOGRAPHY, ART CREATED AFTER 1970, AND NEW MEDIA. WITHIN THOSE TOTALS, THE FOLLOWING REPRESENT WORKS THAT WERE BROUGHT INTO OUR COLLECTION IN 2025: CLASSICAL ANTIQUITIES (132 OBJECTS), 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRINTS EMPHASIZING WORKS THAT RELATE TO THE CLASSICAL COLLECTION (1 OBJECT), AND MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART IN A VARIETY OF MEDIA (69 OBJECTS). THE MUSEUM CARES FOR AND COLLECTS WORKS BY NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTISTS IN A RANGE OF TECHNIQUES AND MEDIUMS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE TIES TO FLORIDA AND THE TAMPA BAY REGION. THE MUSEUM RECOGNIZES THAT ITS ACQUISITIONS TODAY ARE SETTING STANDARDS FOR FUTURE COLLECTING ACTIVITY AND BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR EXHIBITIONS AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. THE MUSEUM CELEBRATED ITS 105TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2025. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART CONTINUED TO RAISE REVENUE AND ALLOCATE ITS FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES TOWARDS THE PRESENTATION OF EXHIBITIONS, COLLECTIONS CARE AND MANAGEMENT, AND THE PROVISION OF A ROBUST SCHEDULE OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO SERVE THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY. THE 2023 GALLERY RENOVATIONS PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 SQUARE FEET FOR SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AND FOCUSED PRESENTATIONS OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION. EQUALLY SIGNIFICANT WAS THE ADDITION OF THE VINIK FAMILY FOUNDATION EDUCATION CENTER FOR TMA'S ROBUST EDUCATION PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, THE 2023 RENOVATION TRANSFORMED THE PUBLIC SPACES ON THE MUSEUM'S FIRST FLOOR WITH AN INCREASE OF SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE STORE, NEW ADMISSION DESKS WITH TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED WAYFINDING SYSTEMS, AND A REDESIGN OF THE FIRST-FLOOR ATRIUM INTO A SCULPTURE GALLERY. AS A RESULT, THE FULL HARD AND SOFT COST EXPENSES OF THE RENOVATION CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS WERE TRANSFERRED FROM THE TMA FOUNDATION, THE CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING ARM OF THE MUSEUM, TO THE TMA, INC., THE OPERATIONS AND LEASEHOLD CORPORATION FOR THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS. THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES OF THOSE OPERATIONS ARE REFLECTED IN THE 2024 990. BELOW ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE TRAVELING AND IN-HOUSE EXHIBITIONS PRESENTED AT TMA IN 2025, AND THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DEVELOPED FOR THE TAMPA BAY REGION AND BEYOND.

AS THE WORKS IN THIS EXHIBITION DEMONSTRATE, CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS PORTRAY LIFE AROUND THEM FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF OBSERVER, INQUISITOR, CARTOGRAPHER, OR CULTURAL HISTORIAN. MOREOVER, THE ART ON VIEW OFTEN BLURS THE BOUNDARIES OF TRADITIONAL MEDIA-FOR EXAMPLE PAINTINGS MAY BE EMPHASIZED BY SCULPTURAL OR PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS; THE READY-MADE OR FOUND OBJECT SERVES AS THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION; OR AN ASSORTMENT OF VARIOUS IMAGES CREATES A WHOLE PICTURE. THE ETRUSCANS: A MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE APRIL 17, 2025, THROUGH MAY 23, 2027 THE ETRUSCANS ARE A FASCINATING ANCIENT ITALIAN PEOPLE ABOUT WHOM MUCH REMAINS A MYSTERY. THEY INHABITED AN AREA OF CENTRAL ITALY - PRESENT-DAY TUSCANY AND BEYOND - IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF LATIUM WHERE THE CITY OF ROME LATER ROSE TO POWER. EMERGING FROM THE IRON AGE "VILLANOVAN" CULTURE (CA. 900-700 BCE), THE ETRUSCANS REACHED THEIR ZENITH IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE FIRST MILLENNIUM BCE. OVER THE CENTURIES, ETRUSCAN ART AND CULTURE RETAINED ITS DISTINCT IDENTITY. YET, THEY WERE VARIOUSLY INFLUENCED BY CELTIC AND CENTRAL EUROPEAN, ROMAN AND GREEK, PUNIC AND PHOENICIAN CIVILIZATIONS. THE ETRUSCANS WERE GRADUALLY SUBSUMED BY ROME OVER THE COURSE OF A LONG PROCESS OF ACCULTURATION (CA. 5TH-1ST CENT. BCE). THE PERMANENT ANTIQUITIES COLLECTION OF THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART HOLDS SOME 70 ETRUSCAN OBJECTS COVERING A PERIOD OF ABOUT 750 YEARS (CA. 9TH-1ST CENT. BCE). THIS ENSEMBLE, THE LARGEST PUBLIC COLLECTION OF ITS KIND IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES, HAS NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED TOGETHER BEFORE. COMPRISING JEWELRY AND COSMETICS, BRONZE STATUETTES AND METALWARE, TERRACOTTA FIGURINES AND EARTHENWARE, INCLUDING CINERARY URNS, THESE OBJECTS ILLUSTRATE ASPECTS OF EVERYDAY LIFE AND DEATH, POTTERY PRODUCTION, MYTH AND RELIGION. THE PRESENTATION OF THE ETRUSCAN COLLECTION IS PART OF A SERIES OF LONG-TERM EXHIBITIONS HIGHLIGHTING THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION. AMERICAN GAZE: IMPRESSIONISM - PAINTINGS FROM THE TAMPA BAY COLLECTIONS AND COLLECTORS MAY 15, 2025, THROUGH FEBRUARY 1, 2026 AMERICAN GAZE: IMPRESSIONISM, PAINTINGS FROM TAMPA BAY COLLECTIONS CELEBRATES THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS FROM THE LATE 1800S TO THE 1930S, A PERIOD OF GREAT TRANSFORMATION IN THE UNITED STATES. IN THE 1880S, IMPRESSIONISM MADE ITS WAY TO AMERICA FROM EUROPE AND BECAME A NATIONAL STYLE OF PAINTING IN THE UNITED STATES THAT REMAINS WIDELY BELOVED TO THIS DAY. LIKE THEIR EUROPEAN COUNTERPARTS, THE AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS WERE INSPIRED BY THE PHILOSOPHY THAT PAINTING WHAT THEY KNEW AND WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND WAS MORE TRUTHFUL AND THUS MORE MEANINGFUL. AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM DEVELOPED ITS OWN IDENTITY-ONE DEEPLY INTERTWINED WITH THE COUNTRY'S SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND HISTORICAL SHIFTS. THE EXHIBITION FEATURES SIX SECTIONS WITH OVER 60 PAINTINGS ON VIEW: IMPRESSION, FRENCH INFLUENCERS; LIGHT SHIFTS; FIGURES AND FLORA; COUNTRYSIDE; AND AMERICAN GAZE. TOGETHER, THE PAINTINGS HIGHLIGHT HOW AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS CAPTURED THE BEAUTY OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND REVEAL A BROADER STORY OF ARTISTIC EVOLUTION IN THE UNITED STATES.

PHOTOGRAPHERS ON VIEW INCLUDE RUTH ORKIN, AUGUST SANDER, RICHARD AVEDON, ANSEL ADAMS, DIANE ARBUS, RUTH BERNHARD, EDWARD WESTON, AND OTHERS. IN A NEW LIGHT: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM 1870-1940 WORKS FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA COLLECTION ON VIEW AUGUST 7 - NOVEMBER 30, 2025 THE RICH STORY OF HOW AMERICAN ARTISTS ADAPTED AND TRANSFORMED IMPRESSIONISM IS DISCOVERED IN THE EXHIBITION IN A NEW LIGHT: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM 1870-1940. THIS MAJOR SURVEY TRACES THE MOVEMENT'S JOURNEY FROM ITS FRENCH ORIGINS TO ITS DYNAMIC REINTERPRETATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, REVEALING HOW ARTISTS BLENDED EUROPEAN INFLUENCES WITH AMERICAN LANDSCAPES, CITIES, AND EVERYDAY LIFE. FEATURING MORE THAN 100 PAINTINGS AND WORKS ON PAPER FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA COLLECTION, IN A NEW LIGHT OFFERS A VIBRANT LOOK AT THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN ART DURING A TIME OF NATIONAL REFLECTION AND RENEWAL. THIS EXHIBITION HAS BEEN LOANED THROUGH THE BANK OF AMERICA ART IN OUR COMMUNITIES PROGRAM. CHARLES ATLAS: KISS THE DAY GOODBYE AUGUST 21, 2025 - OCTOBER 21, 2026 FILMED FROM THE BALCONY OF ATLAS'S TEMPORARY APARTMENT ON CAPTIVA ISLAND, THE ARTIST CAPTURED THE BREATHTAKING SIGHT OF THE FLORIDA SUNSET AND GULF SHORES OVER SEVERAL WEEKS. AN ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE, ATLAS CREATED A GRID COMPOSED OF 36 SUNSETS THAT CAPTURED THE BRILLIANT ORANGE SUN DIPPING INTO, AND ULTIMATELY BENEATH, THE HORIZON. A PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK AND SCULPTURAL COUNTDOWN CLOCK ACCOMPANY THE VIDEO INSTALLATION, EMPHASIZING THE CULMINATION OF THE DAY. KISS THE DAY GOODBYE ALLUDES TO THE PASSAGE OF TIME AND SENTIMENTS RELATED TO ENDINGS. WHEN THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK STRIKES ZERO, THE VIDEO RESTARTS AND THE SUN BEGINS ITS DESCENT ONCE MORE, A METAPHOR FOR THE CYCLE OF DAYS AND EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES.

IN ADDITION TO SOLO EXHIBITIONS AT THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HER ART WAS RECENTLY SELECTED FOR THE SAO PAULO BIENNIAL EXHIBITION. YOUTH COUNCIL: CTRL+ART+CREATE ON VIEW FROM NOVEMBER 6 - DECEMBER 31, 2025 THE YOUTH COUNCIL WELCOMED VISITORS TO CTRL+ART+CREATE, A COLLECTION OF ARTWORK FROM MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ACROSS HILLSBOROUGH, PINELLAS, AND PASCO COUNTIES. ORGANIZED ENTIRELY BY THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S YOUTH COUNCIL, THIS EXHIBITION WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL AND INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK. LESS THAN A THIRD OF THE ALMOST 200 WORKS SUBMITTED WERE ACCEPTED BY THE YOUTH COUNCIL. THE YOUTH COUNCIL PRIORITIZED OPENNESS AND ACCESSIBILITY, ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO EXPRESS THEIR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS AND THEMES. THE WORKS ON VIEW WERE CREATED BY ARTISTS IN GRADES 6 TO 12 WORKING IN MEDIUMS RANGING FROM PAINTING AND SCULPTURE TO JEWELRY AND FIBER ARTS. THE ARTISTS ADDRESSED THEMES LIKE MATERIALITY, SELF-DISCOVERY, ENVIRONMENTALISM, TRAUMA, LOVE, AND CURRENT EVENTS. CTRL+ART+CREATE INVITES VISITORS TO VIEW A DIVERSE ARRAY OF ARTWORK FROM STUDENTS AROUND TAMPA BAY. THE YOUTH COUNCIL AND THEIR PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S NEXTGEN MEMBERS AND ART & ACES. JUN KANEKO: SILENCE BEFORE SOUND DECEMBER 18, 2025, THROUGH MAY 10, 2026 THE EXHIBITION JUN KANEKO: SILENCE BEFORE SOUND CELEBRATES THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S RECENT ACQUISITION OF JUN KANEKO'S (JAPANESE AMERICAN, B. 1942) MONUMENTAL SCULPTURE UNTITLED (DANGO). JUN KANEKO: SILENCE BEFORE SOUND REPRESENTS THE FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION OF KANEKO'S OEUVRE IN FLORIDA AND WILL PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE ARTIST'S PROLIFIC CAREER-FROM THE EARLY SCULPTURES HE MADE AS A MEMBER OF THE INFLUENTIAL CALIFORNIA CLAY MOVEMENT IN THE 1960S TO THE GROUNDBREAKING PROJECTS THAT BLURRED THE BOUNDARIES OF PAINTING, CERAMICS, AND SCULPTURE. THE TITLE JUN KANEKO: SILENCE BEFORE SOUND SERVES AS A METAPHOR FOR THE ARTIST'S CREATIVE PROCESS AND THE JAPANESE CONCEPT OF MA, AN IDEA DEFINED AS A PAUSE IN TIME. EACH APPLICATION OF GLAZE AND PAINT IS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED WITH THE APPROPRIATE SPACE BETWEEN THE MARK OR GESTURE. THIS NEGATIVE SPACE, OR SILENCE, IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL BALANCE, HARMONY, AND PATTERN IN KANEKO'S ARTWORKS. TMA'S NEW ACQUISITION OF KANEKO'S DANGO WILL ANCHOR THE EXHIBITION. CONTINUING INTO 2025 FROM 2024 ANCIENT ATHENS: BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY ON VIEW OCTOBER 25, 2024, THROUGH MAY 18, 2025 THE U.S. DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION WAS IN LARGE PART INSPIRED BY THE POPULAR GOVERNMENT OF CLASSICAL ATHENS, AS WELL AS THE ROMAN REPUBLIC AND THE FRENCH ENLIGHTENMENT. DURING THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART HIGHLIGHTED THE ANCIENT GREEK CITY-STATE ATHENS, AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY. THERE, BETWEEN THE 6TH AND 4TH CENTURIES BCE, MALE CITIZENS GAINED POWER IN A FORM OF GOVERNMENT BASED ON THE RULE OF LAW. THE EXHIBITION IS BASED ON THE MUSEUM'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY, PAIRED WITH A DOZEN ANTIQUITIES FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION AS WELL AS SOME SIGNIFICANT LOANS. ANCIENT ATHENS: BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY ILLUSTRATES ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES SUCH AS THE ACROPOLIS, THE ARTS AND CULTURE OF CLASSICAL ATHENS SUCH AS SCULPTURE AND CERAMIC VASES, THEATER AND ATHLETICS, AS WELL AS THE GODS AND GODDESSES WORSHIPPED IN THE CITY. THE EXHIBITION ALLOWS VISITORS TO CONTEMPLATE THE IDEALS OF THE SOCIETY THAT GAVE BIRTH TO DEMOCRACY. FROM THE 6TH THROUGH THE 5TH CENTURY BCE, POLITICAL REFORMS BROKE THE POWER OF THE NOBILITY (ARISTOKRATIA) AND EVENTUALLY GAVE WAY TO POPULAR GOVERNMENT (DEMOKRATIA) IN ANCIENT ATHENS. ORGANIZED INTO AN INDEPENDENT CITY-STATE (POLIS) THAT INCLUDED THE COUNTRYSIDE OF ATTICA, ATHENS BECAME THE BASTION OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, AND THE BEACON OF CLASSICAL CIVILIZATION AT THE HEIGHT OF GREEK ART AND CULTURE. ONLY ONE OF THE HUNDREDS OF CITY-STATES ACROSS THE GREEK WORLD THAT WITNESSED THE RISE OF POPULAR GOVERNMENT, ATHENS MAY RIGHTFULLY BE CONSIDERED THE BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST FAMOUS AND BEST-DOCUMENTED CASE BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS THE STATE WITH THE LARGEST POPULATION AT THE TIME IN WHICH DEMOCRACY REACHED ITS MOST RADICAL FORM. DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THE UNITED STATES IN 2024, THE BIRTH OF DEMOCRACY IN ANCIENT ATHENS GAINS ADDITIONAL HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. THE LEGACY OF CLASSICAL ATHENS GOES BACK TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND YEARS. ITS ART CONTINUES TO INSPIRE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS. GREEK MYTHS AND LEGENDS, TRAGEDIES AND COMEDIES INSPIRE MODERN LITERATURE, CINEMA AND THEATER. THIS EXHIBITION AIMS TO EXAMINE WHAT THE ORIGINAL IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS STILL MEAN TODAY. ANCIENT ATHENS: BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY WAS SPONSORED IN PART BY: THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS CULTURAL ENDOWMENT FUND, THE FRANK E. DUCKWALL FOUNDATION, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART FOUNDATION'S RICHARD E. PERRY CULTURAL ENDOWMENT FUND, THE GUS LEMONOPOULOS FUND OF THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, AND WILLIAM KNIGHT ZEWADSKI. THE ART OF COPTIC EGYPT: FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. ROBERT STEVEN BIANCHI ON VIEW SEPTEMBER 13, 2024, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 THE WORD "COPT" REFERS TO THE NATIVE POPULATION OF EGYPT, MANY OF WHOM CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY IN THE EARLY CENTURIES OF THE ROMAN PERIOD. TRADITION MAINTAINS THAT THE HOLY FAMILY SOJOURNED IN EGYPT AND THAT SAINT MARK, THE EVANGELIST, ESTABLISHED THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN EGYPT IN ALEXANDRIA IN THE FIRST CENTURY. THE COPTS SHARED A COMMON MATERIAL CULTURE WITH THEIR POLYTHEISTIC NEIGHBORS. IMPERIAL EDICTS ESTABLISHED CHRISTIANITY AS THE RELIGION OF THE EMPIRE IN THE LATE 4TH CENTURY, WHICH ALLOWED THE COPTIC COMMUNITY TO FLOURISH. THE ART OF COPTIC EGYPT SHOWCASES OVER FIFTY ARTIFACTS FROM A LOCAL PRIVATE COLLECTION DATING FROM THE EARLY CENTURIES OF THE ROMAN IMPERIAL PERIOD TO THE MIDDLE AGES, ALTHOUGH SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO OBJECTS SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COPTIC CHURCH. TODAY, THERE IS STILL A THRIVING, VIBRANT COPTIC COMMUNITY IN EGYPT AND BEYOND, INCLUDING IN TAMPA. THE NOUN "COPT AND THE ADJECTIVE "COPTIC" ARE ETYMOLOGICALLY DERIVED FROM AL-QIBT, AN ABBREVIATED ARABIC TRANSCRIPTION OF THE GREEK AIGYPTOS, THAT IN TURN IS BASED ON THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHRASE HUT-KA-PTAH, THE TEMPLE OF PTAH, WHICH WAS USED TO REFER TO THE CITY OF MEMPHIS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR EGYPT AS A WHOLE. (COMPARE OUR USE OF THE PHRASE "THE WHITE HOUSE" AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.) INITIALLY, THE NOUN "COPT" WAS APPLIED TO NON-ARABIC SPEAKING NON-MUSLIMS LIVING IN EGYPT. EVENTUALLY, IT CAME TO IDENTIFY THE NATIVE EGYPTIANS WHO CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY SINCE THE EARLY CENTURIES OF THE ROMAN IMPERIAL PERIOD. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A DURING THESE EARLY CENTURIES THE COPTS LIVING IN EGYPT WERE PART OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THEY SHARED A COMMON MATERIAL CULTURE WITH THEIR POLYTHEISTIC NEIGHBORS-THOSE WHO WORSHIP MANY GODS. THAT CULTURE DERIVED IN PART FROM PHARAONIC EGYPT, AS WELL AS GREECE AND ROME. INTIMATELY BOUND TO THE FIRST GENERATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY, EGYPT ALSO WITNESSED SEVERE PERSECUTIONS UNDER THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THE LITURGICAL CALENDAR OF THE COPTIC CHURCH MARKS ITS BEGINNING FROM 284 OF THE COMMON ERA-THE ANNO MARTYRUM ("YEAR OF THE MARTYRS")-THE YEAR EMPEROR DIOCLETIAN CAME TO THE THRONE AND UNDER WHOSE REIGN THE SECOND WAVE OF PERSECUTIONS TOOK PLACE. THE PROVISIONS OF THE EDICT OF MILAN PROMULGATED BY EMPEROR CONSTANTINE THE GREAT (313 CE) REMOVED THE STIGMA OF BEING A CHRISTIAN. THE EDICT OF THESSALONICA, ISSUED BY EMPEROR THEODOSIUS I (380 CE), ESTABLISHED CHRISTIANITY AS THE ONLY RECOGNIZED RELIGION ACROSS THE EMPIRE. THE COPTIC COMMUNITY FLOURISHED EVEN AFTER THE FALL OF ALEXANDRIA TO 'AMR IBN AL-'AS (641 CE), WHICH USHERED IN THE ISLAMIC PERIOD, WHEN MANY TRADITIONS OF THE COPTS WERE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. THE OBJECTS ON DISPLAY IN THIS EXHIBITION ARE PART OF THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF RENOWNED EGYPTOLOGIST AND FINE ARTS HISTORIAN DR. ROBERT STEVEN BIANCHI. JACOB HASHIMOTO: THIS PARTICLE OF DUST ON VIEW NOW THROUGH JANUARY 2027 THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S ATRIUM IS TRANSFORMED BY JACOB HASHIMOTO'S SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION AND IS UNIQUE TO THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S ARCHITECTURE. THE INSTALLATION REPRESENTS JACOB HASHIMOTO'S EXPLORATION OF ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE AND HIS INTEREST IN BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN PAINTING AND SCULPTURE. THIS PARTICLE OF DUST EVOKES THE EXPERIENCE OF OBSERVING THE NIGHT SKY THROUGH VARIOUS CLOUD CLUSTERS. THOUSANDS OF TRANSPARENT AND OPAQUE WHITE DISCS HANG SUSPENDED FROM A BESPOKE ARMATURE. NAVY BLUE KITES, IMPRINTED WITH WHITE AND CERULEAN BLUE STAR PATTERNS, HANG AMIDST THE CLOUD SHAPES AND CATCH THE LIGHT AS THE SUN RISES OVER THE MUSEUM AND DIPS INTO THE HORIZON OVER THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER. DEPENDING ON ONE'S VANTAGE POINT, EITHER FROM THE LOBBY, STAIRWELL, OR GALLERIES, THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS PARTICLE OF DUST SHIFTS-FROM BELOW THE CLOUDSCAPE APPEARS TO DRIFT INTO THE SKY WHILE AT EYE-LEVEL THE VIEWER LOOKS DIRECTLY INTO THE STARS. VAUGHN SPANN: ALLEGORIES ON VIEW NOW THROUGH JULY 5, 2026 ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION CONVERGE IN VAUGHN SPANN'S MONUMENTAL PAINTINGS. MARKED MEN, AN ONGOING SERIES, FEATURES A PROMINENT X AT THE CENTER OF THE CANVAS. RENDERED IN VIBRANT PAINT SWATHS-FROM SAPPHIRE TO SKY BLUE, CRIMSON RED AND MARIGOLD YELLOW, TO BLUSH PINK AND EMERALD GREEN-THE X CREATES GRIDS OF KALEIDOSCOPIC COLORS. A STAND-IN FOR THE BODY, UNKNOWN, OR THE ANONYMOUS, SPANN'S X SIGNIFIES BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES. THE SUITE OF FOUR LARGE-SCALE PAINTINGS ON VIEW IN THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S LOBBY DEMONSTRATES SPANN'S EXPLORATION OF PERSONAL, POLITICAL, AND ART HISTORICAL NARRATIVES. ESTERIO SEGURA: GOODBYE MY LOVE FEBRUARY 25, 2023 - MARCH 2027 A NEW ACQUISITION TO THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION, GOODBYE MY LOVE REPRESENTS ESTERIO SEGURA'S (CUBAN, B. 1970) ONGOING EXPLORATION OF THE MEANING OF AIRPLANES AND FLIGHT. PRODUCED IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS AT DIFFERENT SCALES, THIS VERSION IS NEARLY THE LARGEST. IN DESCRIBING THE SERIES, SEGURA EXPLAINED, "IN THIS WORK, THE REFERENCE TO THE AIRPLANE HYBRIDIZES WITH A REFERENCE TO ANOTHER WELL-KNOWN UNIVERSAL SYMBOL: A SIMPLIFIED IMAGE OF THE HEART. THIS IS FUSED WITH AN EASILY UNDERSTOOD TITLE WITH SEVERAL MEANINGS, FROM THE MOST CORNY AND SENTIMENTAL TO THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL, FROM A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STANDPOINT. WITH THIS WORK, I REFERENCE THE EXPERIENCE OF UPROOTING, NOSTALGIA, MEMORY, LOSS-HOW WE EXPERIENCE THE BREAKDOWN OF EVERYTHING WE LOVE." BORN IN SANTIAGO DE CUBA, ESTERIO SEGURA IS A GRADUATE OF THE RENOWNED ART SCHOOL INSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE ARTE IN HAVANA. HE WORKS IN A RANGE OF MEDIA-FROM PAINTING AND PRINTMAKING TO SCULPTURE AND DRAWING-AND EXPLORES THEMES RELATED TO CUBA'S COMPLEX SOCIO-POLITICAL HISTORY SUCH AS ISOLATION, IMMIGRATION, DESIRE, AND FREEDOM. SEGURA'S SCULPTURE LA HISTORIA SE MUERDE LA COLA (HISTORY BITES ITS TAIL) IS CURRENTLY ON VIEW IN THE EXHIBITION TIME FOR CHANGE: ART AND SOCIAL UNREST IN THE JORGE M. PREZ COLLECTION. GOOD-BYE MY LOVE IS PRESENTED AS PART OF THE EXHIBITION PRELUDE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PERMANENT COLLECTION ON VIEW IN THE PATEL NORTH ATRIUM GALLERY. MYRLANDE CONSTANT: EARLY WORKS FROM THE TMA SEQUIN ARTS FLAG-MAKERS OF HAITI COLLECTIONS ROTATING EXHIBITIONS ONGOING MYRLANDE CONSTANT: EARLY WORKS IS THE THIRD PRESENTATION IN THE SERIES SEQUIN ARTS: THE FLAGMAKERS OF HAITI. IT FEATURES AN INTIMATE SELECTION OF CONSTANT'S FLAGS MADE OVER A FIFTEEN-YEAR PERIOD, FROM THE MID-1990S TO THE END OF THE AUGHTS. THE TEXTILES ON VIEW INCLUDE WORKS FROM THE HELLER COLLECTION, WHOSE DONORS GIFTED THE FIRST HAITIAN OBJECTS TO THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION, AS WELL AS THE GESSEN COLLECTION, RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE LARGEST COLLECTIONS OF DRAPO VODOU IN THE COUNTRY. THE EIGHT BEADED WORKS REVEAL THE EVOLUTION OF CONSTANT'S EARLY WORK, FROM SINGULAR IMAGERY OF VODOU DEITIES TO NARRATIVE TABLEAUX DEPICTING BOTH SPIRITUAL AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN HAITI. THIS PRESENTATION ALSO INCLUDES TWO FLAGS BY MIREILLE DELICE, ONE OF THE MANY ARTISTS CONSTANT MENTORED IN HER ATELIER. VIEWED TOGETHER, MYRLANDE CONSTANT: EARLY WORKS OFFERS INSIGHT INTO THE TRANSFORMATIVE YEARS OF CONSTANT'S CREATIVE PRACTICE, AS SHE EMERGED FROM LOCAL HEROINE TO GLOBAL PHENOM. JOSEPH VEACH NOBLE: THROUGH THE EYE OF A COLLECTOR APRIL 18, 2024, THROUGH FEBRUARY 19, 2026 IN 1986, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART ACQUIRED SOME 175 ANCIENT OBJECTS FROM THE PROMINENT COLLECTION OF JOSEPH VEACH NOBLE. THIS ACQUISITION BECAME THE CORNERSTONE OF THE MUSEUM'S BURGEONING PERMANENT COLLECTION OF ANTIQUITIES THAT HAS SINCE GROWN TO OVER 800 OBJECTS. AFTER NEARLY FOUR DECADES, IT IS HIGH TIME TO PLACE THE NOBLE COLLECTION IN THE SPOTLIGHT ONCE MORE. THE SUPERB NOBLE COLLECTION OF GREEK AND ITALIAN VASES IS OF INTERNATIONAL RENOWN FOR ITS BREADTH OF THEMES AND STYLES, FORMS AND TECHNIQUES. THE NOBLE VASES ARE THEREFORE OF SUPERIOR EDUCATIONAL VALUE TO ILLUMINATE ASPECTS OF ANCIENT ATHENIAN MYTH AND RELIGION, WARFARE AND ATHLETICS, WINE CULTURE AND COSMETICS, DAILY LIFE AND ENTERTAINMENT. MANY VASES OF NOBLE'S COLLECTION HAVE BEEN ON DISPLAY IN THE PAST DECADES, BUT NO DEDICATED PRESENTATION OF THE COLLECTION HAS BEEN ON DISPLAY SINCE THE INAUGURAL EXHIBITION AT THE TMA IN 1986. THROUGH THE EYE OF A COLLECTOR WILL ALSO SHOWCASE FASCINATING CURIOSITIES AND BEAUTIFUL SCULPTURES IN THE TMA'S NOBLE COLLECTION. LIFE & DEATH IN ANTIQUITY: INTRODUCTION TO THE ANCIENT COLLECTION JANUARY 13, 2023 - FALL 2026 THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART PURCHASED ITS FIRST ANCIENT ARTWORK IN 1981, A BLACK-FIGURE COLUMN KRATER, PERHAPS DEPICTING THE WEDDING PROCESSION OF PELEUS AND THETIS. FIVE YEARS LATER THE MUSEUM'S ANTIQUITIES COLLECTION QUADRUPLED IN SIZE WITH THE SINGLE ACQUISITION OF THE PROMINENT COLLECTION OF JOSEPH VEACH NOBLE. THE PERMANENT COLLECTION CURRENTLY HOLDS ABOUT 575 ANCIENT ARTIFACTS, IN ADDITION TO OVER 100 LONG-TERM LOANS FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS OF THE MUSEUM'S ANTIQUITIES ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF ANCIENT GREECE AND ITALY, PARTICULARLY ATHENS AND ROME. THE ANCIENT WORLD ENCOMPASSED A MUCH WIDER DIVERSITY OF TRADITIONS, HOWEVER, OF WHICH SOME CAN BE ENCOUNTERED IN THIS INTRODUCTION TO THE MUSEUM'S ANTIQUITIES COLLECTION. THE GALLERY DISPLAY WILL HIGHLIGHT ASPECTS OF EVERYDAY LIFE AND DEATH, AS WELL AS ENTERTAINMENT AND RELIGION, TRADE AND POLITICS. C. PAUL JENNEWEIN: ART DECO BRONZE SCULPTURE FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION ON VIEW NOW C. PAUL JENNEWEIN'S (GERMAN AMERICAN, 1890-1978) ARTWORK REVEALS THE INSPIRATION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD WHILE ALSO ENGAGING WITH THE NEW SCULPTURAL STYLES OF HIS TIME, MERGING ART DECO WITH THE NEO-CLASSICAL TRADITION. IN 1978, THE TAMPA BAY ART CENTER, PREDECESSOR OF THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART, RECEIVED A BEQUEST OF 2,600 OBJECTS INCLUDING FINISHED ARTWORKS, AS WELL AS PREPARATORY DRAWINGS, PLASTER CASTS, AND MOLDS FOR THE NUMEROUS COMMISSIONS JENNEWEIN RECEIVED DURING HIS PROLIFIC CAREER. STARTING IN FALL 2022, THE MUSEUM PRESENTED JENNEWEIN'S EARLY SCULPTURES FOR AN EXTENDED TWO-YEAR DISPLAY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A MUSEUM PROGRAMMING OUTSIDE OF MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS, THE TMA IS GROWING ITS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS BY ENGAGING MORE STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTICIPANTS. THE TMA HAS A STRONG REPUTATION FOR BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS TAMPA BAY. THROUGH THE TMA'S DIRECT OUTREACH PROGRAMS, WE WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AT-RISK DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC DISPLACEMENT, ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES, AND THOSE LIVING WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH CHALLENGES. THE MUSEUM'S COMMUNITY PROGRAMS HAVE GROWN OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS DUE TO THE EASE AT WHICH WE MAKE THESE PROGRAMS ACCESSIBLE AND AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE. THE TMA IS DEDICATED TO PRESENTING ENRICHING, ACCESSIBLE AND ENGAGING PROGRAMS TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY, AND THE MUSEUM IS STEADFAST IN ITS COMMITMENT TO CELEBRATING THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. IN ALIGNMENT WITH THIS PROMISE, FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, THE TMA HAS CELEBRATED COMMUNITY AND FAMILY, HOSTING ITS ANNUAL JUNETEENTH CULTURAL CELEBRATION. TO THIS END, THE ANNUAL JUNETEENTH CULTURAL CELEBRATION COMMEMORATES THE ENDING OF SLAVERY WHILE CELEBRATING THE CULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK AND AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTISTS. AT THESE CELEBRATIONS FAMILIES AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN RICH CULTURAL HISTORY THROUGH GALLERY PRESENTATIONS & ACTIVITIES, STORYTELLING, MUSIC, ART MAKING AND MORE. THE TMA HAS ALSO COMMITTED TO PURCHASING NEW MUSEUM WORKS BY ARTISTS OF COLOR FROM THE TAMPA COMMUNITY AS A PART OF THE TMA JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION. PAST ACQUISITIONS INCLUDE WORKS BY ARTISTS YA LA'FORD AND JAKE TROYLI. BEGINNING IN 2026, THE MUSEUM HAS CONSOLIDATED TWO IMPORTANT AND WELL-ATTENDED COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. ARTFUL CONNECTIONS IS THE NEW TITLE FOR THE MISSION AND VISION OF OUR ART-THERAPY-INFORMED PROGRAMS ART SPACE AND CONNECTIONS. OVER THE YEARS THOSE PROGRAMS REMAINED SEPARATE WITH ONE FUNDAMENTALLY BASED ON DISCUSSIONS IN THE GALLERY AND THE OTHER AN ART MAKING PROGRAM INSPIRED BY LEARNING ABOUT A SUBSET OF WORKS ON VIEW IN THE GALLERIES. PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATORS REMAIN THE SAME AND ARE GROWING. TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE TMA HAS HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH LONGSTANDING COLLABORATORS INCLUDING THE USF HONORS COLLEGE FOR THE CONNECTIONS PROGRAM. CONNECTIONS IS THE MUSEUM'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA, ALZHEIMER'S, DEPRESSION, TRAUMA OR PTSD. THROUGH CONNECTIONS, SENIORS, VETERANS, AND ACTIVE MILITARY AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES, ETHNICITIES, GENDER AND RACE PARTICIPATE IN OPEN DIALOGUE DISCUSSIONS IN THE GALLERIES SURROUNDING A GROUP OF THEMATICALLY LINKED WORKS OF ART. IN EXCHANGE FOR OFFERING TRAINING TO STUDENTS AT THE MUSEUM, USF HONORS COLLEGE PROVIDES A SALARY FOR A 15-HOUR-A-WEEK INTERN DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR. THE MUSEUM LOOKS FORWARD TO PURSUING THE CREATIVE CONNECTIONS PROJECT IN 2025 WITH THE BLUE STAR FAMILIES TAMPA WHERE TMA AND BLUE STAR FAMILIES WILL WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE ART-THERAPY INFORMED PROGRAMMING BASED ON CURRENT MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS TO SELECTED COHORTS OF SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS, AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. THE MUSEUM'S LONGEST-RUNNING COMMUNITY PROGRAM, ART SPACE, HAS SERVED THE TAMPA COMMUNITY SINCE 1993.

WORKING DIRECTLY WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SCHOOLS, TMA HOSTED TWO SUMMER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN 2025. THE FIRST WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS TO LEARN ABOUT MUSEUM TOURS AND TO PRACTICE THINKING ROUTINES THAT COULD BE USED IN CLASSROOM CURRICULUM. THE SECOND WAS TRAINING FOR THE FIRST-YEAR ART TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT. IN ADDITION TO THE SUMMER TEACHER TOURS, THE TMA ALSO PROVIDED TEACHER PREVIEW DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR TO INFORM TEACHERS ABOUT EXHIBITIONS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE ART ON VIEW AND THEIR CURRICULUM. EXHIBITION LECTURES AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS INVITE LOCAL AND NATIONAL ART HISTORIANS, ARTISTS, CURATORS AND SPECIALISTS TO PRESENT IN-DEPTH EXPLORATIONS OF THEMES ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT EXHIBITIONS. GALLERY TALKS TAKE PLACE VIRTUALLY OR IN THE GALLERIES.
