Beautification - Public Art

In 2005, the Westshore Alliance created a committee to develop public art projects in Westshore. In just a few short years, we've created a splash through a series of public art exhibits including:

A signal box painting program that transformed traffic signal boxes into works of art. The program was done in partnership with area businesses and the City of Tampa.

The Expose  Art of Westshore banner program, brings an outdoor gallery featuring the works of local artists to the streets of Westshore each spring. Over the last two years, the works of more than 40 local artists were featured in colorful banners displayed along Kennedy and Boy Scout Boulevards, on George Bean Parkway at Tampa International Airport and at WestShore Plaza.

Reflections of Tampa Bay, featured the works of nearly 100 student artists from throughout the Westshore district. The artwork, displayed at Tampa International Airport from January to June 2007, highlighted the Tampa community with a focus on our diversity, culture and history through the eyes of student artists.

We are actively working to develop a master plan for installation of permanent public art features in the Westshore district. For more details on our efforts, contact Ann Kulig at Kulig@westshorealliance.org or 813-289-5488.
