Each year, an average of 80,000 people participate directly in TMA's activities and projects, including visitors, school groups, program participants, outreach program participants, artists, and volunteers.

| Project Description: |
| The Tampa Museum of Art, a department of the City of Tampa, has been recommended by the Florida Arts Council, Division of Cultural Affairs, to receive a Regional Cultural Facilities grant of $2.5 million to assist in the construction of a new and greatly expanded museum facility and exterior Art Park, which will be a focal point of the City of Tampa's new downtown cultural district. The new museum facility will triple the size of the current building, enabling TMA to transition to a greatly expanded organization, with significantly greater levels of programming, services, and resources for its visitors and the regional community. The new, fully-accessible facility will make TMA a state-of-the-art venue for world class exhibitions, a cultural center for the community, region, and state, and a premier destination for a variety of educational and entertainment experiences. |
